How lovely to see the promise of spring -- so fresh and vibrant -- especially since our gardens in the northern hemisphere are turning to autumn.

...but you're killing me here... :>

Guessing nectarine or peach, apple, stock, then clivia, rose, and passiomflower?

Yes, beautiful flowers. Spring and early summer are definitely the best times to admire the flowers.

Hey well done, go to the top of the class! :D Hopefully the tropical apple will be as prolific as last year......

Very lovely. You have some of the plants that grow here too. The Octopus tree though is usually wild and weedy. I have Clivia before, but like agapanthus it is a once a year bloomer, and I lost mine a long time ago. My citrus trees are also blooming and putting on new leaves (and new aphids). I have pineapple sage, but you do have a couple of things that I would have a harder time growing, like those blue flowers. I wish I could because I love blue flowers.

Here on the other side of the world, the second round of spring flowers are in full, riotous bloom :D

Double flowered weeping cherry is fading now. I like the juxtaposition with the violets and dandelions :D
