Our Gardens

For those of us for whom our gardens are special, or for whom our gardens aided in our recovery whether physical or emotional, post your photos of your garden that bring you joy.

Cassia fistula (Golden Shower Tree)


Delonix  Regis (poinciana)



Every afternoon these trees are visited by lorikeets and other nectar feeding birds.

Ooh, a koala. Now he beats fruit bats!  And the little red bird is such a vivid red. Your "girls" look very contented as they cluck their way along the path.

Morning in my garden 🌸

@tigerbeth
I love the shady nook under the yellow tree. Perfect for morning coffee.

@tigerbeth Stunning!

My garden is a post-reno, BC interrupted wreck so for now I focus on my balcony.





I love this new petunia, called Night Sky.



The dog enjoys the balcony as well!

@kmakm
Dogs always pick the best spots. Petunias will grow up here (in July), I am going to find "Night Sky" and plant lots along the verandah edge next year.

@Annie C I want to find more too, so lovely. I'm quite besotted.

You're all making me jealous - 18 months of living in the burbs, no time (and less inclination) when we moved back to do much, then bc - garden is a wreck!

Sister

Taken from a distance, it doesn't look too bad! The bottlebrush is outside the back door and is way too big and messy when it's in full flower but it looks stunning when it is and the birds love it.
(The hoses are because it's our last weekend for burning off ahead of the fire season.)

Pretty idyllic @Sister!

Hello @Sister
The bottlebrush is beautiful. They grow up here but do not flower as prolifically as yours - the humidity knocks them around (knocks me around too!).

I love lots of trees. They are strong, are resilient and give beauty to the environment (bit like us, really).

The last of the poppies on Remembrance Day

@Zoffiel
Appropriate that the poppies lasted until today.
Wonderful

Oh gosh, all your gorgeous gardens put my little one to shame.  In my defense, I've only lived here 2 years and this garden was purely large trees when I moved in.  I was planning on pulling out the eggplants today, but its a bit hot atm.   My little lemon tree is growing sideways because the neighbours trees blocked the sun ... until he cut some branches for me  

Consider these "before" photos haha
