This website is the first I look at in the morning....great pics!!!!

Thanks Carol!

Happy Spring to all! This is going to be an exciting growing season!

Change of seasons in Australia is on the first day of the month, so autumn started 1st March. But where I am the whole spring/summer/autumn/winter scenario doesn't fit in. The Aborigines have 6 seasons here (Whites have 2), based on the responses of nature. Although the weather is going a little crazy (as over most of the planet) we're now in Bangarreng, also called "The Knock'em Down". It's usually after the monsoon (Kudjewk) and when we get storms. The Spear Grass (Sorghum intrans) is up to 2 - 3 metres high, flowering and dropping seed. The storms knock the tall grass down. But this year the monsoon's died early, although there's still a chance (probability) of another burst before the dry season (Yekke). Officially the wet season ends at the end of April.

Happy Spring to you too!

Beautiful images, Carol and Dave!

And a happy Autumn to all our friends on the other hemisphere!

Happy spring here in Florida! The plumeria are waking up!!!!

Thanks Alexandra, and the grapes are on, and I'm enjoying them. Happy spring to you all.

Happy Spring / Autumn where ever you are ! It is gorgeous here. The azaleas are in full bloom! Really pretty outside!

Happy Spring/Autumn to you all too!! I need to get outside and get some new pics. Have lots of new things popping up now.

Always amazing to watch the seasons change!

One of my bunching tulips. It's a true red though the lighting wasn't right to show it.

Dave...nice!!! What plant is that?

Spring is hard to notice here at sea level - but look what I saw yesterday "upcountry" . This Jacaranda is way ahead of any of the others - Spring has sprung in Kula!

All of my tropicals are still dormant but I can make do with Wisteria and cross vine for a day or two.

Lady Banks is doin' her thang!

Beautiful shade of yellow.

Good morning Carol! That is Banisteriopsis caapi, a medicinal vine which is the subject of much research lately.

Here is Cochliostema odoratissimum about to bloom!

Sorry to have hijacked the TZG thread. This is where I sit and dream I am on the islands.

Gosh Christi, your spring garden looks lovely. ^_^

We are enjoying it very much. The aroma of the wisteria and the roses is wonderful.

Can't compete with the islands.

that one picture of the wisteria looks like it's from the tree house Christi.

This the living room exit to the deck and garden

and this morning...these were arrange like this by the David statue. Very windy

Still no tropicals but enjoying the others. Your arrangement would make a great picture to hang on the wall, Randy.

thanks..I was noticing a lot of groupings this morning looking picturesque.

By the pond

All of your pics look great!! My garden is just starting to pop up now. But we have snow coming this weekend. Ugh!!

Cool Randy....
