Outside my house 1

flowers

Someone pissed me off big time this morning so I decided to take my camera and shoot pretty pictures of one thing I love - flowers. Some people will say this is not a productive thing to do, gardening - waste of time, shooting pics - nothing better to do? But I do what I like and enjoy. Shoot, edit and post. Life is too short.

These violets were bought last year when they were plug plants. They flowered during autumn but after the harsh winter, they came back with a vengeance. You can see how small they were during winter here.

The Azalea was just a green shrub when I bought it and didn't seem to grow an inch. But look what spring brings me? Gorgeous pink flowers! They bloomed just 2 days ago!

The bedding was created by the previous owner. There were only 3 ugly looking plants which eventually died. I replaced them with evergreens and most of them have yet to establish. I also created another bedding on the other side of footpath. Some weeks back, I planted summer plants in pots and am eagering waiting for them to flower. A few flowers have already made their presence but I'm not taking any pictures yet until they have flowered en mass. Watch this space.
