Sunny And Hot

After all the cool weather I knew we would have to get a hot day sooner or later, and today is it. 30 degrees, but then it's supposed to be cool again tomorrow. Certainly a funny old spring this year.

I called in to Kurinda Rose Nursery at Warragul to have a look. Everything has grown since I was there last and it was looking spectacular in full bloom.
Mum had asked Stan to graft one of the roses she had grown from seed some years ago, so when I mentioned that he generously gave me a potted plant of it. Although not registered he calls it "Memories of You" which I think is lovely. He showed me another of hers which doesn't open out so well.
I bought Lanes Moss while I was there and will get them both into the ground soon.

Blue flowers always catch my eye in gardens, so here are some of my flowers.
Iris Louisiana Sinfonietta, Nigella, Centaurea and Ixia.



My Japanese iris is flowering with lovely large showy blooms. I probably should have fed it because it doesn't have as many flowers this year. Still beautiful nonetheless.


And the Siberian iris is putting on a show too. This clump is lovely, but another clump has not one single flower on it.
