I love the amazing magenta colour of Nerines (Guernsey Lillies) and the bees agree! Autumn bulbs are a joyful way to farewell Summer. #bloomscrolling

Super happy with all of this... cute flower, great colour and a whimsical "you want petals where?.. yeah, nah" attitude.

Camellia sasanqua - no freakin' clue.

This was a cutting I took from my garden, stuck it a pot with a plastic bottle over it and it has decided to grow... and flower. Will need to investigate.
5cm (< 2") flower.

A metal bowl filled with home grown water spinach, beans, cucumbers, eggplant and one cherry tomato. Next to it is a 3D printed quail egg holder with 3 eggs in it.
My months of chaos gardening to figure out what works in the garden were well spent after all! I'm still glad I typed "quail egg" into the MakerWorld search when J asked me if I wanted anything printed.

Camellia sasanqua 'Paradise Blush'

"Blush"?... looks more like total embarrassment. It will continue to open up and the colour will wash out to a blush.
4cm (1.75") flower.

Sun has set, light is fading fast, time for some additional lighting. This is another flower on the same Camellia sasanqua 'Asakura' I posted couple of days ago.

Colchicum. They have an almost checker-board pattern. Definitely move it out of lawn #gardeningAU
This bulb has no kikuyu growing under the very old very large clump. Elephant lily’s, Persimmon, salvia, 2x mahonia and a blow-in native prickly bush. I should get back to work
#gardeningAU
working my way up the hill with the whipper-snipper. I hate kikuyu.
this one has all sorts of native pollinators on the flowers #gardeningAU
these Ned to be moved out of the lawn #gardeningAU

Eeeek I moved a coleus round the back this morning so I can repot it, but our resident teddy bear bee just came to the front door looking for it. I'm sorry buddy.... it's not that far away....

Single flower, daisies have a uniform, full, circular petal structure with a large, central, low, stamen cluster. Petals are yellow at the center darkening to orange/gold at the edge. The stamen cluster comprises tiny cells of dark green and purple hues, multi-faceted.
Daisy, I think.
The ladies in my complex buy flowers for the common area, but don't keep the nursery tags. I have much work to do :(
This was actually an exercise in flash photography,outdoors, am happy.

Tiny passion pink, 4 petals, white stamen flowers. About 1" (2cm) across.
Gaura belleza 'Dark Pink' Another of my "oooh, that's cute" as I headed out the door at my local nursery. Was declared a noxious weed in Australia some years ago, but now it's ok? Harmful if eaten, skin and eye irritant. Atm, I've got nothing to replace it.

I really should stop throwing out labels.. this is the best these flowers have been. Well over a metre tall. Heading for 5 ‘ old measurements. African. The bulbs are up to 20cm wide. They sit like beasts just below the surface of the soil, tops showing. #gardeningAU
