WALK AROUND THE VILLAGE

 Although it is cold today there is a glimmer of spring coming in the gardens of our village. Unfortunately I'm hopeless at remembering or even learning the names of flowers sorry about that.


Poinsettia

Lavender with bee

Rose


cactus

orchid

Our pool has the cover on because it is too cold for swimming even though it is a heated pool.

Most people in our street have a bird on their mailbox. Mine got faded in the weather but one of our artistic residents repainted it for me.

  1. Lots of colour around despite it still being winter. Your mailbox made me smile.

  2. Love the bird on the mailbox, certainly different - the flowers are beautiful and good to see.

  3. As I recently noted about Queensland, cold is a very subjective word. Pick the Victorians in South East Queensland as they will be the ones in short sleeved shirts without a jacket.

  5. Interesting to see poinsettias blooming there. Won't see that here until before Christmas when the stores will be filled with them for sale.

  7. Thanks for the colorful walk around, Diane, and I am also hopeless at knowing the names of flowers so thank goodness for internet searches. What a fun way to decorate your mailbox and your neighbor did a great repainting job on your bird.

  10. Who says you are hopeless at learning flower names? You recognized the same ones I do (rose, cactus... we don't need more detail. It's enough to recognize and share the beauty )). Happy Spring -- hope the pool gets re-opened soon.
