Sunday Selections #237

Sunday Selections was originally brought to us by Kim, of Frogpondsrock, as an ongoing meme where participants could post previously unused photos languishing in their files.
 
The meme is now continued by River at Drifting through life.  The rules are so simple as to be almost non-existent.  Post some photos under the title Sunday Selections and link back to River.  Clicking on any of the photos will make them embiggen.
 
Like River I usually run with a theme.  It has become increasingly clear that despite what the calendar says, Spring is well on the way.  


We are still having foggy mornings, and one day this week it snowed - though it didn't stick.




Just the same, when the fog lifts there is a LOT of colour coming through.  So I wandered around the garden this week, revelling in what is out, and anticipating all that is nearly out, and the invisible plants that I hope will come out.

There are lots and lots of King Alfred Daffodils out.


 
  
There are also lots of different daffodils - doubles heavily in bud.

 

There are jonquils out, and coming out all over the garden too.




I love this camellia.  It is always the last to come out - and I think its flowers look a little like water lilies.



Our wattle is coming out.  Finally, when other wattles in the street have been and gone.




Three different grevilleas are blooming.





Lots of colour - and lots more to come.  And rather a lot of weeds too.  I don't know where they find the room to come up - but they do.
