Yellow Button fading to a pale yellow.

The pink calla lily that I thought was smooshed to death has come back and multiplied. :)

Copper daisy in the sun.

What came up where I planted my dahlias... :*(

The front path with Summer Memories rose.

My new lacecap hydrangea. It's my first one. I like it. I hope it doesn't die, it was on sale because it was sunburnt but not as bad as mine are here anyway.

Yay the perennial nemesia is self-seeding! At least something good sprang up with all the weeds down the side of the house.

Today's blooms.

I feel so unproductive (lazy) today even though I have managed to do a load of washing and make lasagne for dinner. I managed to snap a few photos this arvo. It is very overcast with slight drizzle .. which only starts when I go outside of course. I wanted to see how Yellow Button was going...

And I found a few other tiny blooms on a couple of other struggling roses (struggling in the back yard the front ones are doing well). This is Tamora.

Ambridge Rose. Found this hidden amongst the leaves right down near the graft. There was another bloom there last week. It's trying! The whole plant looks awful atm coz it was another one that got scorched. I didn't get any photos of the good blooms before xmas coz I wasn't very well then. It is usually more of an apricot colour.

I am happy to see a few others budding up.  But Charles Rennie Mack is always budding up he's a champ. :)

Now that I've dazzled you with such beauty I can confess that all my azaleas and camellias (bar one) are dead. I give up on them it is too hot here in Summer for even the sun tolerant ones. Maybe when I get a shade cloth area set up I'll try again.
