Last weekend was the Ferny Creek Horticultural Society's Spring Show.
Hancock's Daffodils
https://www.daffodilbulbs.com.au/
put on a commercial display each year which takes up the breadth of the meeting room,

Thanks, Maggi and Rudi,
I have more pics of the Show but can't download them from my phone at the moment!
Here are a few more pics from the home garden -all these are from South Africa I think:
1) Moraea macronyx - an unspotted form
2) Pauridia (Spiloxene) gracilipes ssp speciosa
3) Babiana cedarbergensis
4) Bulbinella floribunda
cheers

Some daffodils:
1) Pink Tango which we bought from Hancock's on Saturday.
2) Cornish King which we got from a local nursery last year at their closing down sale :'(
3) Mixed daffs in a round bed in the front garden
4) Highfield Beauty a hybrid Tazetta from Tassie!
5) another daff we got years ago labelled as Highfield Beauty but it isn't!
cheers

Lovely to see the Australian natives - I'm fascinated by Australian flora because the evolutionary divergence from European flora is so clear. I'd love to learn more about Australian pollinators and how much they might have to do with that (so if, perchance, you know of a book on the subject...)
I didn't know that there were pink-flowered Acacia - do you know if the colour of the cultivar in your pictures is derived from a wild species or the product of selective breeding?

Will took a couple of pics of the Floor Garden at the FCHS Spring Show, and a mixed posy.
I got a pic of Jon B's (minibulblover on this Forum) Blue Ribbon entry in the Rock Garden section - a vase full of Narcissus 'Mitzi'
