Surprising to see another late daff in between the iris, a bit insect eaten

The members who have been here a long time will remember my mother's mollis azalea, still flowering for her and perfuming the whole area

!WoW! such beautiful flowers, that tea tree is spectular, and that Altissimo on the fence is a dream.
The poor little daff looks a tad sad or should I say tired, as it gets ready for its big sleep.
You have green grass I would love to see some green for a change everything is so brown here.
Must say those Pelargoniums look bright and cheery up the drive as does the mollis azalea.
Very pretty a wonderful lot of plants..Cheers...MM.

Did you cut Pete out, I can't see him.
A long time since I walked down that path, it still looks lovely.

The tree cutters came and picked up all the debris. They did a good job, but got our neighbor angry because they came through their driveway to get to the vacant lot next door. They had cut an enormous limb that had fallen over there. They left some ruts in the yard, so I had to do some tall apologizing, etc. Our pest control man came this afternoon and identified the flying demons as metallic beetles. They were all over the trees, and he said they were after the sap that was oozing after having the branches trimmed. They were dive-bombing me while he was here. I had to wear a hat today to keep them out of my hair. He'll be back next week to spray for them. This post disappeared this morning, but I see it is back on the forum again. I hope I don't have any more problems with Photobucket. Nancy

Sorry gang, I had already posted that image of Webster's Pink Wonder. When comparing that image to the one I took this afternoon, they look almost identical. I guess I could say that WPW is a model of consistency. David

Okay, now you've done it. You have some amazing Valentine decor and now I have to get going as I got caught up in assembling a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle and have been neglecting my decorating, LOL I used to love jigsaw puzzles and found a Kincaid one that I had received for Christmas a couple of years ago and never got around to assembling, so once I start, I can't stop!! Puzzle done, so after seeing everybodies pretties on here, I need to get going! I am so glad you had a change of "heart" about the focus of your Valentine decorating, cause you sure have some wonderful pieces and have created some beautiful vignettes. TFS, Candy

Beautiful again.
I am really going to have to roll up my sleeves it is such a big job when you have to start from scratch, or nearly scratch. People before us renovated all of the inside of the house but did no garden. 2 years on I am still going.
Your garden looks so well planned and pretty, I am green with envy, about the only green thing here in Bris at the moment!

Thank you all for your kind comments. We love the teatree too. I used to be the gardener in the family, but since getting arthritis, have to be content with playing at being boss. It doesn't work. Pete still does most of the work but generally puts in the plants that we both choose.
Not much changed since you were here Heather.

Looks as lovely as ever at your place Tricia. I didn't realise Mollis Azaleas were perfumed, what a treat. The Tea tree is an absolute stunner.
Clover has taken over my garden, the kind with the popping seedpods :-(

Ginny, have you tried right clicking on the picture and then clicking "show picture" That happens to me quite frequently. All the pictures should be there, I haven't altered anything, so they should be OK.

LOL I really shouldn't look at these photos, your garden is so neat and tidy, makes me ashamed of my unruly garden.
