February 2010 - Mackay Botanical Gardens in Jan 2010

Decided to show some flowers and tress from the Mackay Botanical Gardens. I love the flame tree, the colour is absolutely amazing, vibrant, brilliant and breath taking. The green tree frog was found on our friends place at Strathdickie, a short drive from Airlie Beach, the frog is huge and is actually on Con's (my hubby) forearm. I will place more photos up.

This image is of my cut roses in a vase on the dining room table.

Summer 2010

Its been a long time between posts. Its not that I haven't been taking photos or keeping busy in the garden, its just that I have been placing photos up on facebook. It seems that not many look at my garden blog. Which I feel is a shame. As you do get a better view of the photos on here as compared to FB.

Garden in Autumn 2009

Its been a while since I have posted photos on my garden blog, with the extremely hot weather over the summer, I did not take many photos of my garden, it was looking very sick, with many leaves falling off the the shrubs. Included in the list was my white camellia, rhododendron and azaleas. Luckily I did not lose any shrubs, and my roses still survived and looked just fine, especially after the rain came in early autumn.

Hope you enjoy the photos.

Chooks in the Garden

Oh no, what was I thinking. I love the chickens and the fact that we now get fresh eggs, three every day, one from each of them. But they love to scratch and fossick around my garden beds and make a mess. One of my begonias is not looking at its best at the moment, I cannot believe that they have trampled one of my miniature cyclamens as well. I think the only thing to do is to not let them out of the chook run, unless they are supervised.

Enjoy the photos of the latest addition to the Bletas family pets.
