From my garden......

[Kobione]

I have a lovely Mountain Laurel bush in flower, just in front of my lounge window so did a wander out with my phone to get a closer picture of the flowers and the distinctive buds.]

 

Also spotted a nice Ixia flower close to it too.

 

Then found another small flower which I took inside and put in a vase. It came up through another bush, and I hadn't seen it before, but have identified it as Gladiolus communis, a European species and smaller than the usual Gladioli

 

Will see what else I can do, but will still be limited.

Lovely blooms Dee ... that last one looks so exotic ...  I'd be happy to see whatever you are growing in your new garden ...  I  could get some tips  on plants that would be suitable for a a very dry sunny spot I have  where a neighbouring tree  takes most of the water from the soil .... We could  have a  bit of a gardening  theme going here eh ...

Lovely to see your photos Dee - our winter's approaching needs cheerful warmer photos like these!

It did seem strange, seeing these summer blooms at this time of year.

Lovely shots, Dee.
