August 2014 in the Southern Hemisphere

Hi
We left most of our rare non-daffodils behind when we moved to our little farm. Unfortunately we don't have as much shade as we had before so it will be a while before we grow as many things here that require shade.
As you can see from the names I am not good with remembering the names of anything other our narcissus.
I have been enjoying the photos. Adelaide Hills may be a little harsher than here.
Otto, even your ordinary bulbs are a thing to behold.

That's the worst thing with a move, isn't it? Having to leave good plants behind. Odd isn't it really - after all no-one expects you to leave the furniture and paintings in the house.......

Tell me about it.

Hi
My move was only one side of town to the other. My lot left Aberdeen for Nelson in New Zealand a long time ago and then my grandfather came to Australia early in the 20th Century.
Our move will keep suppliers of rare bulbs from Tasmania in funds for a while I suspect!

Robert as I too live in South Australia and have been to northern California I would say that we are similar but you would be a little cooler I should imagine with a little more rain in a 'normal' year not like your last few.
Jamus if you would like to visit after 3.30 tomorrow I would be home. There are some lovely flowers out there that might be batthered and wet by next weekend.

Pat,

Thanks for the climatic information. It does help me put things in perspective.
