ReplyDeleteOlá Rhodesia, Beautiful.
Oh to live where figs grow...
ReplyDeleteYour temps are the same as ours at the moment. No humidity either so that is sweet. Love your up close photos as usual.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo's, Diane. Your azalea doesn't look like ours here, but they are beautiful there also. :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you're back, missed you. xoxo
Your flowers are so beautiful! I love the purple flowers! And the critters are beautiful too. I have just propagated my fig plants and now waiting for them to fruit!
ReplyDeleteHi Diane. Lovely photos. Your flowers are enjoying the warmth and sunshine as well as the rain. We are having similar weather in Durban at the moment. Warm sunshine and then a night of heavy showers.
ReplyDeleteHello Diane!
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful photos, nice and sharp! I am repeating myself but you have an excellent camera now!
And a good eye :)
You bee-like insect is a kind of fly, no worries!
The peony reminds me of those I had my SA garden!
I hope you are enjoying great weather at last, it was okay for me in the Pyrenees mountains... Post coming soon ;-)
Warm hugs and enjoy your sunday
Just look at the number of different shades of purple in those pics!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you'll soon be eating cherries. The flowers are all gorgeous. Guess I need to take pics of my flowers.
ReplyDeleteExcellent shots like usual. I really love the images of the baby fig and the pink rose.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blooms Diane. I know what you mean about the garden.. I may have to follow your lead at some point, there are new flower beds to be tended. I bet your garden looks a picture, would love to see when you feel happy about it .. take care ✨
ReplyDeleteLovely photos from your garden. From the looks of it, the garden will be providing you with some delicious treats real soon.
