A Stroll around the Garden..

I do enjoy strolling around the garden on a beautiful spring morning.
I experience utter delight in finding a new rose opened, this morning and as I pass Seduction it is full of opened blooms,, then I turn around to see where the perfume is coming from I see Camp David a beautiful red and not far away is Pink Bassino which I missed yesterday as it is a ground cover rose and one branch is covered in pink flowers and I realise yesterday they would have been buds and with the climate so warm here some of the roses can be buds in the early morn a beautiful formed flower at mid-day and by late afternoon a fully blown flower to fall asleep in the evening never to open its beautiful petals again.. As I head over towards *Chooky Heaven * to see how my girls are and give them a few leaves of the silver beet Pixie and Dixie run over to see me as they know when hubby and I come the fence there is always lovely greens for them to eat. I bend down to see how Iceberg is going only a couple of little blooms
on it as I planted it on the chook yard fence as the tag said it was a climber but of course it was wrong And by time I realise it well the plant is up and away and there is no way I am going to dig it up and return it as its too late in the season to get a replacement, anyway the girls have had a few feeds of it. And as I walk towards the front of our block to fill up the bird bath there is a noisy miner who has just jumped out of the water then has a quick shake and its off to see what it can find over near the Lavender Dreams they are ramblers and there is usually good things to eat over there and as I walk around to the front of the house I see Olympic Gold so bright like the morning Sun a beacon that draws you over and as I get near I see that some poor little bee has been drawn to it also and a spider has managed to catch it in its web Nature is very beautiful but can be so very cruel at times and I looked in awe as that bee was four times the size of the spider and still met its end in such a cruel way.. On the other side of the front steps is Lovely Lady its a pink standard that should never have been grafted as such, a beautiful flower that throws canes as long as some of my Bougainvilleas but none the less it is a haven for our very tiny Eastern Dwarf Tree Frog this one seems to soak in the colour of the rose to try and camouflage itself though it is not doing a very good job and I hope is gets back between the leaves before one of our many resident kookaburra see it.
As I head over to another of the garden beds I look down to see what has popped up in the grass such perfect shaped toadstools and if you looked at them long enough you could almost imagine that fairies were sitting on them and resting after dancing around the garden, who knows they could be
hiding there amongst these pretty pink gerbera and as I continued on my way I see so many more flowers the day lilies welcome me and nod in the breeze as I go past and as I start to walk towards the back of the house there on the side fence laughing at me is one of our resident kookaburra’s so I quickly look over to the pink rose Lovely Lady but thankfully that tiny frog had gone out of sight and next thing that kookaburra swoops down and one little skink is caught, puts a dark cloud on the morning but once again that nature and there is plenty of that on this block. As I past the Calliandra and who is
that popping out of it one of those noisy Lorikeets they enjoy ripping those pretty flowers apart it takes no notice of me as I walk under the first arch where that little rose Crepuscule is starting to climb its way up the wire. That’s when I notice the air is full of the most beautiful perfume it could only be coming from my white Frangipani
and I go past the pink
then the red one although pretty they don’t have a perfume like the white does and as I head towards the bottom of the back steps and see that glorious lilac dwarf bougainvillea sitting in a big pot I go up those steps and realize I have to get back to the real world of getting breakfast then doing those never ending chores.

There is always plenty of time later for another walk around my Paradise
