The Ragtag Daily Prompt for Tuesday: Garden
Have a quick wander about my garden.
Blue-banded Bees like dropping in
When the pink Crocus flowers the Stingless Native Bees all come around
One of the wheelbarrow gardens with Hippeastrums
The Frangipanni flowers scent fills the air
The Bromiliads flower too
One of my favourite flowers – Cats Whiskers
The Dietis look great buit trhey are taking over in places in the garden
One of the many Hibiscus flowers
The Agapanthus put on a show around the garden borders
The garden is a place to relax
Even Long-necked Tortoise stroll through heading to the dam
Every now and then when working in the garden, I surprise a frog. The Broad-palmed Frog took a while to wake before hopping off
Lots of Bottlebrush flowers
The Pelagoniums add colour
There is always help in the garden
So many Grevilleas too
The Native Wisteria winds its way among the foliage
Always wear gloves and shoes as you never know who you might disturb. The Mouse Spider was rather fiesty
The Bullants let you know if you are getting too close to their nest
Every now and then another variety of fungus appears
The garden is a lovely place to raise a family
The fruit trees look wonderful in Spring
and of course the garden is home to lots and lots of birds from the smallest Honeyeater, the Scarlet Honeyeater
to the larger birds like the Satin Bowerbirds
You have a truly wondrous garden, Brian.

Thank you Tracy 🙂 I would love it to be like that all the time. This dry period makes it hard to keep it going that’s for sure

I think I would feel a bit nervous in the summer, Brian. We definitely need more rain. I think we’ve had a little more than you so far this summer.

I am hoping the cyclone will track towards us soon to give a bit of rain.

Ah, that news escaped me. Some rain would be nice. You don’t want a Townsville though.

At the moment it is getting harder and harder. Will welcome a good downpour of rain to deep water the garden and fill the dam.
So glad you enjoyed a bit of a walkabout A-C 🙂

I owe you an apology, Brian. For some reason I have been believing your home was in South Africa. It was only when I saw the post on Bush Babies I gave my head a shake and realised. 😦

No apology needed Jo. I thought my posts were quintessentially Australian. I don’t remember a post on Bush Babies…..maybe I need a bit of a shake too 😀
