The sun peeked out for five minutes today. Long enough for a snap of this prolific bloomer, Calibrachoa Million Bells Apricot Eye. Its flowers resemble mini petunias; hence its common name of trailing petunia.
Marguerite Daisy - Another Plant for My Wish List
Visiting a neighbour's
garden recently this plant caught my eye. I love the colour of this Marguerite Daisy. Its full name,
according to the tag conveniently left for me to read, is Argyranthemum
Bonmadmerlo Madeira Daisy, Double Red. Sounds like it should be in a
bottle!!!
Wattles in Flower
You know winter is on the way when the wattles begin to flower. I don't know the name of this one, with its feathery leaves and little balls of wattle flower, but it is very pretty. If you're walking past it or the wind is from the right direction you get a lovely whiff of aniseed. It is the first of the wattles in our garden to bloom.
Today's Garden Visitor
This pluver or masked lapwing, together with its mate, was taking advantage of the early morning sun. The pair are regular visitors to the garden and often spend all day here. Magpies swoop them regularly, but the pluvers refuse to be intimidated.
