Freesia In the Rain.....

Freesia In the Rain.....
About 5 years a go we bought a packet of Freesia seeds They are now in all our pots and around the ground next to the pots. Smell is divine.

The photo On world photo goes a long way to explain the day. This shot was taken under an umbrella for the Camera rather than my legs or feet. I knew a few days ago I had only one thing coming my way..................RAIN. First thing this morning it was unmistakable.


Early Morning

The best thing about this shot is the extra lens at the bottom of the flowers. You can 100% see the two milk crates that hold up :
Borya constricta Churchill & Drosera menziesii

Borya constricta Churchill & Drosera menziesii =Do look at this max resolution.


Welcome to Down under nothing but rain, thunder, Cold and hail but enjoy the day.

We still have rains and will for a good week more , I have to go look at some of the dams that where very low to see the change. Has been wet like my very first year in WA then its got drier and drier. I did not really have much to go and get a photo of but flowers are a sign of what's to come spring and a guess a hot summer to match the wet winter.

I do remember you are in the Southern Hemisphere. I just thought it would early for you to have spring flowers. I thought they might be more ready in mid September or October.

And yes, obviously a good lens has been used. I always prefer non-zoom lenses. Helps me not have too many choices (and they do tend to be better lenses).

How fun to leave a bit of you behind in the way of flowers. And I so agree with roses needing a scent. One of Portland's nick names is The Rose City. We have an international test garden on the hill at the edge of downtown - sadly not all of them have a scent, but many do.
If you can see this link, it shows one corner of the garden:
