Splendour of the early summer garden

 


The mermaid rose is an exceptional climbing rose which is doing very well after the hard pruning I gave it in winter.



My favourite summer flowers, the colourful sweet peas.



The apple green banksia as seen from my kitchen window.  In the foreground is the pomegranate tree, now showing flowers, promising fruits to come.


The magpie, a resident in my garden.


A friend who was giving up gardening gave me this Cape violet a few years ago.  It has been flowering without fail, every summer.
