Promise of things to come

Won't be long before there is lots more colour in the garden

Billbergia nutans planted in the top of an old fence post




Aechmea gamosepala on an old tree stump - one flower spike open and lots more to open soon


Some type of Aechmea, possibly recurvata


Jonquils are budding up


First spring star


At finally, a flower spike on one of my Oncidium Dancing Ladies... first time it has flowered in over 10yrs

Yes its a exciting time in the garden at present Gail I see spikes of flowers coming up everywhere, especially the orchids my first brown one opened today and I have the Oncidium Dancing Ladies with a couple of spikes on them too, mine only seem to flower every second year..

Your broms are looking so good, mine are spiking slowly gosh I have not looked at my star flowers for a week or more so I must check on them too, the freesia laxa's are still flowering did yours or not, the first flowering ones are getting seeds so if you want some let me know they are a lovely dainty little plant and flower for a long time..

to see a pic of the jonquil when it opens I may even have one in the garden myself from Cheryl..

Great Broms Gail . growing on old dtumps shows them off to perfection, they look so natural growing on a stump.

Thanks. I wish I could find some more stumps for the garden but I think we have found all we're going to from down the paddock.

Noticed, yesterday afternoon that the flowers have opened on the Billbergia nutans. Not the best of pictures... difficult when you have to get down under the plant


Mary-Anne, the freesia laxas are just starting to flower... had about 3 or 4 so far.

Your Broms certainly like the old timber.

My Oncidiums (Dancing Ladies) are spiking well. I repotted them after they flowered last time.

The only thing I've seen before there, Gail, is your jonquil. The others are very nice. Love that last one the freesia. Most unusual.

Everything looking really nice Gail your Freesia Laxa have come on well..Yes sometimes you have to be a contortionist to get pics..
