Title: July 2023 in the Southern Hemisphere
Post by: fermi de Sousa on July 09, 2023, 01:59:50 AM

Mid-winter is still a time when we can have flowers here in our garden.
1) An old Narcissus tazetta hybrid known locally as "Straws"
2) Acis tingitana
3) Galanthus elwesii
4) Nerine undulata (?) getting a little bit of frost protection from a semi-deciduous Crataegus
5) Leucojum aestivum 'Gravetye Giant'  - the most inappropriately named "Summer Snowflake"!
cheers
