April 2020 in the Southern Hemisphere

[fermi de Sousa]

It's been a damp start to the month with rain! Could we possibly be getting a "normal" autumn with enough rain to encourage the bulbs out of their dormancy?
We can only hope!
Here's another daffodil to flower in autumn, 'First Stanza' from Lawrence Trevanion in Canberra - a cross between Narcissus elegans var fallax and 'Soleil d'Or'

Thanks for sharing your garden Fermi, you've got a lot going on there at the moment! I am enjoying a good start to autumn too with lots of Crocus and Oxalis flowering and Narcissus to come later. Narcissus viridiflorus is out and I keep going back to admire it and sniff.

Fermi l like your Oxalis flava, very pretty.

These have been posted elsewhere on the interwebs but I think it's nice to have a record here for future reference. Various autumnal happenings of the floral variety.

Nerine  'Cleopatra' is  very striking - these  two-tones often are - but  that  is  lovely.
Your  image  of the  Crocus  'Mani white' is  delicious, Jamus!  Crocus can be  so utterly  gorgeous!

[Jupiter]

Thank you Maggi, I agree the little Crocus are so photogenic! I just keep coming back to them as they open and close and the light changes and finding new photo opportunities. The Mani White are a lovely shape. I must be careful not to bore everyone with endless pictures!
