Winter flowers

Different shades of red cyclamen in the garden.

Pink cyclamen with variegated leaves.  The cyclamens are doing very well in the garden, protected from the harsh winter weather by the overgrowth of camellia and the jacarandah tree.

Orchids in winter

A couple of limes

Hippeastrum lily

Lily adding colour to the wintry days.

Healthy nettle

I have allowed this healthy looking nettle to flourish because I regard it as a vegetable.  I pick the top to add to vegetable soup.  I wear gloves to protect my hands.

Protea

Profusion of flowers this season.

where the pumpkins grew

The four butternut pumpkins came from one vine, which was growing in the middle vegetable box but sent a branching vine to rest in the next box.
