Spring has finally sprung in my garden!

I took these photos on Saturday morning. The 6th December and spring has finally sprung in my garden! Things have been so dry here and the 35mm we got the week before last is finally having an effect on my garden. We're on tank water so every last drop lately has been purely dedicated to our household use and the horse troughs.

This is part of our property. It was a dustbowl a week ago. It's amazing how a bit of moisture can make such a significant change.

Here's my Man From Snowy River riding his horse Charlie Brown. She's just recently been broken in.

I just love pansies. Every pansy has its own smiley face. Purple is my favourite colour so of course I had to buy the biggest purple pansies possible. They look fantastic! So do the crimson coloured ones.

Roses would have to be my favourite flower. Though I'm not much of a rose grower, I'm quite proud these have actually flowered given my poor attention. Thank heavens Dad's a green thumb! This climbing rose is currently in need of a trim. It's actually crawling along the ground at the moment.

I can't even tell you what this one is named. It's a small little bush. Hardly ever gets watered but is brimming with buds.

This is my Pierre de Ronsard - can't say this beautiful rose is flourishing in my garden yet.

Isn't this one a treat!
