A Bit of Sewing and A Bit of Garden to Show

Whilst I have been putting together an order

for some needlebooks
(which I promise to show on completion)

shown above

I thought I might share some Springtime Garden Roses and

other plants from our garden on the far south coast

of Australia.

This shows the driveway entrance on the right

and a front paddock with our goats.

A rose arbor at the entrance.

Pierre de Ronsard climbing on the right

A sea of fox gloves growing amongst two more

climbing roses -  William Morris and

Teasing Georgia on the right.

Some close ups of climbing Charles Austin

The Alnwick rose of David Austin

and

Sally Holmes on the bottom of the stack.



Around the back of our home are more climbers

including Crepescule below

Cecile Brunner rose over the pergola

and outside our bedroom window is

David Austin's Umbridge and also

Lorraine Lee climbing along the verandah.

If only I could share the fragrance of this incredible bush

of Mock Orange which fills our bedroom of an

evening.

This view is of some Manchurian Pear trees, Silver Birches

and Chinese Elms which we planted on our arrival

here about 6 years ago.

Last but not least is a flower picked from our

Magnolia Grandiflora which

has the softest fragrance

but it is just such a large flower which measures approx.

8 inches across and is truly magnificent.

So there you have it -

a mini tour of our flowering Spring Garden.

Hope you enjoyed it.

A special thanks and welcome to all the wonderful

people who have followed me recently -

you are so appreciated!
