Spring Flowers

I do like this time of year. With the arrival of Spring (well, Summer as earlier posts have suggested) our garden bursts into colour. I took a quick trip around the garden yesterday with my camera to show you what I mean. Here, for example, is our Banksia Rose (Rosa banksiae, native to central and western China). It is a great climbing plant with a mass of yellow flowers.

Then we have a few azaleas like the white and pink version shown here. Azaleas are common around the world.

The Camellia (family Theaceae, from East Asia) is now past its best, but still putting on a show, and I attach a blurred image of our lovely cream Weigela (family Caprifoliaceae) also from East Asia.
