It does take some getting used to that your seasons, in theory, are opposite to ours. <br /><br />The garden I'm leaving behind is high maintenance. Great exercise and yet I had little time to admire what I had accomplished. Somebody will luck out when they take over my garden.<br /><br />Thanks for the photos and embiggen is better :)<br /><br />Gary klahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516733121956849207.post-27360281894226138992014-04-29T05:49:50.086+10:002014-04-29T05:49:50.086+10:00Rawkynrobyn: Autumn is a delight.

So sorry about your crabapple - they are so dazzling in the spring. Our neighbour has a beauty and we so enjoy it in our adjoining front yards. We've had bulbs that did the same as yours and they seemed to have enough oomph to bloom again when the proper season came. Or maybe ... some of them bloomed in the wrong season and the rest of them bloomed in the right season.
