Signs Of Spring

What glorious weather! There are new young leaves on Liriodendron chinense:


There are buds on Magnolia x soulangeana:


There are flower buds on Acacia pravissima:


And new leaves on Grandpa's Geranium plants:


Even Podocarpus salignus is getting in on the act:


So it's a pity really that it's October and the frosts are going to nix all of that any week now...

  1. This was a big topic on the gardening phone in program on the local radio here yesterday. One of our Magnolias flowered again for the second time a few weeks ago, and one of our Rhododendrons are about to flower too.....

  2. I kept hoping in January that the winter would never come. So sad - it only lasted three weeks and even so knocked down anything tender.
