Blooming Friday

This lily was blooming in my friend Anjali's garden. She had brought it to show it to her class.
The roses do well in autumn and winter here. There are roses in all gardens now.


THe ground orchid has started flowering. The purple variety is also pretty.





The Barlerias have come into their own now. They are seen in all colours from violet to white. The yellow ones are the wild ones.

  1. Hi Lotusleaf, the roses are so, so beautiful and that orchid is stunning growing in that garden, how come? here in Chile you need to have a very special environment for them, otherwise they don´t grow... do you have lots of humidity over there??

  4. Hi Maria Cecilia! The ground orchids don't need so much care.
    Urban Green, You should try the ground orchids. They are easy to grow.
    Hi Catherine! The roses will continue through winter here, as our winters are very, very mild.
