🌱 #sixonSaturday from my tiny garden. It has been another week of lugging watering cans trying to keep special plants alive and sadly no significant rain on the horizon. Still my tiny garden continues to give me enormous satisfaction and pleasure.
A collage of six pictures from my tiny garden this week. Clockwise, the first picture is Crepe Myrtle or Largastroemia. Hanging, bell like, pink Fuchsia flowers follow and then a cluster of pale lilac flowers of Tulbaghia. An unusual Dahlia with four red and two white petals and a fluffy yellow centre is folliwed by bright red flowers of Begonia and lastly deep red Snapdragon flowers.

🌱 #sixonSaturday As @oldmanrambling.bsky.social says, the watering regime continues In my tiny garden. The weather app shows tantalising glimpses of rain in the future but then it disappears. I feel so bad for those suffering from fires. Happily the temperature will be below 30 degrees today.
A collage of six pictures from my tiny garden this week. Clockwise the first picture is a gorgeous white Dahlia. A bright red Gazania and a pink and white Verbena follow. The large picture on the bottom is a purple Clematis with a fluffy cream centre bought as a supermarket bargain.  Then there is a dark pink Snapdragon and lastly is a purple perennial Sweetpea giving a second flush of flowers.
