Early Summer

The rain has delayed work on the garden but on the bright side all the plants look like they are really appreciating it.

I haven't seen one of these fungi for years. When we first started landscaping the block there were similarly coloured rocks everywhere. One day the spray from the hose hit one and sent up a puff of brown dust. I learned to look more closely at "rocks". (Update : I believe it's a "dog vomit slime" or Fuligo septica.)

The pink bottlebrush from my GBBD post now has colourful new foliage on it.

Unfortunately I missed photographing the Kniphofia at its peak with more than a dozen flower heads.

The Dianella is also flowering, the flowers are tiny but beautiful.

I didn't realise until I was cropping the photo that there is a little bug sitting on it.
