Winter Flowers

Here's what's flowering in my garden in southern Australia in the first month of winter.

This Abutilon was an impulse buy last autumn. I have never grown one of these before. I was surprised to see it still has a bloom.

The native Correas have a few tiny flowers. I am not very experienced with these either. I thought they were winter flowering and I hoped they would have more flowers. Maybe it is too early?

I'm linking this post to Seepferds Garten.
