Summer over

Our Summer seems to have gone on forever this year. Still quite hot and humid even though we just started Autumn,my favourite time of year.
The garden has suffered with the roses not producing as much in their second flush. The first flush was pretty though.
Things I didn't plant have popped up too. I think it's probably the little honey eater who comes every meal time to drink the nectar from the hibiscus every day. He must poop the seeds I think.LOL
We have 4 fruit on the Dragon fruit this year which follows the pretty flowers I showed in my last post





the little yellow 

 flowers are so pretty. I collected the seeds on my morning 
walk.
I don't know the name of them as I just scattered the seeds and they come up every year. 
Some come 
out pink and others white.

They open their flowers late afternoon and close them after breakfast.
 They don't like the sun obviously. 



                                      The red plant is so good in the garden. Grows so easily









              The Hydrangeas have been beautiful but have now finished.

 



This little blue pot near our front door is always so pretty. Pansies in Winter and these petunias in Summer. I always have to stop and admire them before entering the house.



                                            This is my little tea cup bird feeder So love it







                 I love statues in the garden and I am always on the hunt for bargains

               This tomato plant came up from seeds I threw out with the washing up water. They always      do better than the tomato plants I buy.




                                               The blood red plant is growing up the Fushia tree


                                                This pretty native is Little Polly and I have 2


 The pink and yellow Hibiscus actually grow on the same bush and it's my favourite. I took a cutting from it last year and it's now another big bush.




                                     The lovely pink native Hibiscus is another favourite

                                                              Sweet Memories


                                                             The start of Dragon fruit
                                                       And one nearly ripe Yummy














Well if you've made it to the end of my many pics, have a happy week and happy blogging. I'm going to have a browse to some of your blogs to get more inspiration

Your garden, Jeanette, is awash with beautiful colour. Everything looks so lovely and green and vibrant. I adore your teacup bird feeder; where oh where did you find this pretty?? I wouldn't mind one of these resting somewhere in my garden. I can just imagine the birdsong as birds stop to rest awhile and drink from it. I too, love statues here and there in the garden as they add a touch of beauty and whimsicality. Those petunias at the front door must put a smile in your heart every time you pass. And....that red plant certainly adds a beautiful pop of colour...love it! Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden, lovely lady; have a beautiful week!
