Thanks for sharing all those lovely flowers.

Just wanted to say what a great collection of pictures these are and what an inspiration they are as well, I'm looking forward to getting a little plot of my own :D Just beautiful, the Coleus and the Sweet William are two of my favourites!

This is beautiful, Pip, some truly great photos on here...a real feast for the eyes with us still in the midst of Winter, here in the UK...What a treat on a Sunday afternoon...thanks for brightening up my day....\0/x

Wonderful colourful blog Pip and love that Grivillea what a beauty and Kangeroo paw some wonderful roses you have too thanks for sharing bringing colour to the dismal uk.

I wish I could nominate this for 'summer in the depths of winter award' iits so bright & cheerful Pip -- thankyou :o))

Everyone a winner,Pip..I think if I had to pick a favourite,it would be the Aquilegia..just lovely..thanks for sharing..x

lovely flowers, lovely pictures im sure i can smell those roses!
its a strange thing but somehow i didnt imagine daffodils in australia!! seems too hot for them?

wonderful photos, Pip - I think my favorite is the Grevillea.

Thanks everyone, for all your lovely comments :o) it's very motivating. Stay tuned for part 2...

Loved the photos, Pip...such a cheery sight and a reminder of what we can look forward to as the weather turns warmer :)

I really liked the gazinia's along the driveway....the sheer concentration of them looked impressive!

They're actually a weed! That's why they are so prolific... Glad you liked the blog Jacquie :o)

wish we had weeds like that!!!

;o)

we do have welsh [yellow] poppies and forget me nots as weeds ~ but i like them so all the poppies stay and i only take out some of the forget me nots

We have freesias and Agapanthus as weeds over here! Everyone on GoY is usually shocked when I say that.

oh that is unbelievable ~ we have to pay about £5 a bunch for freesias and agapanthus are even more difficult!!
our dandelions dont compare with your weeds!! i think i shall have to do a blog on weeds at this rate!!!

good ides Sticki-- some weeds are pretty --but not as pretty as Pips :o))

sunshine & colour, perfect.

Thanks Bampy :o)

Spritz asked me to do a blog on Aussie 'weeds' ages ago - but I never got around to it!

i could take a photo of my weeds and turn them upside down ~ would that be ok pip?

lol

Great blog and pictures Pip! Watch out for my Zebra Grass, Shirleytulip split hers and said the roots went down almost as far as Australia! Might do mine this year, so could take a short cut to see you!!

Thanks Tet, What's Zebra Grass?

Oh I forgot lol! you didnt have one of them at the Brisbane Zoo!
Its a very tall grass (with very long roots apparently!) that has almost horizontal stripes on the leaves.

Okayyyy

Zebra!

I don't live in Brisbane anyway...
