I love that white Camellia grindle, I saw one in a garden near here yesterday & they have such lovely simple pure flowers! I think the Camellia I have in a pot in the front garden might be on it's last legs as the leaves are very yellow & sickly probably a combination of the heatwave & then the very cold spell.

My 'Flamingo Lily' (Anthurium) is throwing up the first new spathe of this year! My son gave it to me last year - I don't remember when - & it even produced 1 or 2 more after I got it. But this is the first time it's flowering for me. It probably needs a few more weeks before the spathe reaches its full width.

The Amaryllis my son gave me for Christmas has finally opened its first flower today! The flowers on this Amaryllis are a very dark velvety red, almost black in fact!

The pictures I took today of the Amaryllis with the first of its flowers opening in the kitchen this morning.

The last two are practically the same because the very last one I used the flash to see if I could get a better picture & that's the reason they look identical except for the light. I have to close the blinds or everything comes out almost black with the contrast between the windows & the plants.

Yesterday I was out & about & saw plenty of flowering trees. In fact our local council planted a very long double line of trees back in October - November & in between they planted 1,000s of Daffodils & Crocuses - I had no idea they had done this till a week or two ago when I saw Daffodil leaves pushing through the soil! I was fortunate enough to see them again yesterday but now they were flowering!

Even a few of the trees had started to put out pink flowers! I checked the trees months ago to see if they had a name tag but none of them had.

Here are a few pictures of the Daffodils I planted in the gardens of my church 2 years ago. A few were there already but I dug the whole border up & put in lots of bulbs that had flowered during the previous spring on our balcony. I put the bulbs I'd dug up back into the border again. Last year was the first time they flowered in their new location.
