Today we celebrate the first day of spring although the vernal equinox is still about three weeks away. This year, after a particularly chilly winter, Spring Day in My World has dawned warm and sunny with a high of 30 degrees Celsius predicted. Straight out of the winter woollies into sandals and short sleeves! Spring means my garden is transformed into a spectacle of orange as the indigenous clivia miniata bloom and the tiny lilac blossoms on the buddlia draw the bees.
I divided the clumps of clivia in autumn and have made several new beds. Some gardeners say clivia take four years to bloom again after division. Not mine!
Watering began early this morning.
I live on a busy street - who would guess?
This is better than the gloomy underworld, isn't it Persephone?
Primulas add a note of purple.
The roses are shooting and the compost is rich and home-made.Visit others in other climes at My World Tuesday.
