I know winter isn’t over yet. I’ve been enjoying some of the warmer August days here in Newcastle, even adjourning to the garden late afternoon to toast the going down of the sun.
I’m watching my 4 new kangaroo paws in the garden starting to take off, 2 large and 2 small. I’m hoping that by summer they will carpet the spaces between B1 and B2, the bottlebrush trees. They’re also starting to show new buds on the ends of the branches. Too cool yet for flowering (pic was taken Oct 2018 lol) but soon, my precious ones, soon.
I used to drive (may years ago now) down the Putty Road between Singleton and western Sydney. The wattle blooms were the heralds screaming that spring was coming. So many and so beautiful.
