Second week of Spring. Sure smells like it, but that's about all.

 

[Tree Reb]

It's Jackaranda time again but the weather isn't as good as last year, so the second two are from last year. I did post them but they have gone since. Might get some next week but they're nearly finished.

Purple rain.

 

[sotc]

Man, I wonder if those would do well here!

 

[Che]

i was thinking about those pictures just last week! someday, i hope someone invents a way to put a fragrance into a computer file. click on a file called jackaranda.fra and fill the room with springtime!

That's funny, I thought I answered. Must have forgotten to hit the submit reply thing.

No Willie they like a perfect climate, I don't think they'd survive much north of Steve Hansen's area.

Che, they are getting close. Maybe closer than last year, I had to look it up again.

How Internet Odors Will Work.

The wattles are just about finished, don't see too many around here now.

My Jasmine is out a month earlier than last year. A lot better winter this year, more like normal, even a couple of bees around.

Bugger, smileys aren't working.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

That looks like hell on allergies right there!!!
Made my nose twitch. LOL
Looks pretty Steve

 

[Tree Reb]

Never bothered me but that jasmine would get you for sure, you can smell it a mile away.

There's a 5 foot fence behind that, it's about 8ft on a rio frame. Not too easy for anyone to jump over.

My last Grevillia, I had some nice ones. After the big rain we had after the drought a few years ago they all died except this one, they don't like wet feet.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

I can honestly say that I have never seen one of those before... Very cool!

I want a Grevillia. Here's what the wild flower bloom looked like on 8-12 on the forbidden peninsula at No NO Park. Couple acres in size and a staggering amount of color.

That would be a fine place to keep some bees

Wow! Some fantastic photos in this thread. Hopefully I can contribute next Spring. All I have now are Rose-of-Sharon.

 

[Tree Reb]

Some roses at a job site last week.

 

[Tree Reb]

And some grevellias and a bottle brush that were behind that.

The magic of wide screen!

Edit - except I can't get it to open up fullscreen! The fark!?!

 

[gf beranek]

where I live the bloom is over for now but it will start coming back in a just few months. another cycle. it's amazing.

 

[woodworkingboy]

Pretty amazing to see such nice blooms along the shore. It's a tough environment.

Mrs Smith has a bunch of potted outside plants ,geraniums etc .Since there has yet to be a frost those flowers are continully blooming .

Seems odd ,leaves falling off the trees with flowers blooming . She pulled the tomato plants last week but they had started reblooming again also .It could frost anytime this time of the year but I've seen it frost free until the last of Nov or as early as mid Oct .

Once,1963-64 they were bailing alfalfa after thanksgiving .By mid December we had a blizzard and 32 below zero so you never know .

Here's my Arbutus unedo ( don't know how to say in english).
I think it's one of the few trees which bears fruits and flowers at the same time.

 

[Tree Reb]

Called Irish Strawberry Tree around here, nice trees.
