This is part of our back garden, taken in summer when the shrubs and trees were over their blooming. Somewhere in amongst all the trees the possums live, but it is nice to have an almost bush haven on site.
As you can see, the Australian bush garden bears no comparison with the English or other northern hemisphere gardens.
I will take a photo when everything is out so that you can see that we do have colour at certain times of the year, and usually there is a wattle or eucalypt in bloom. (Obviously out of shot!)
We were absolutely ecstatic yesterday to discover that our front garden features on the front cover of one of Ray's garden club newsletters. I didn't recognise it, but he did - eventually! I am going to try and get a colour version of the newsletter, because the photo was taken on a warm spring day when there was a profusion of blooms around.
Happy gardening to all you gardeners out there.
