It’s still winter, but many of the plants are starting to flower.
Above is the rosemary in the Front garden.
Below are several grevillea olivacea, the first in a hard standing raised bed, then in the northern part of the native garden, and the bottom some buds ready to flower, which we’ll show when they do.

Here is the cumquat (actually a Calamondin or Calamansi cumquat, a cross between a mandarin and cumquat) that is in the front garden. It hasn’t been doing great as the lemon creates too much shade, which is why we planted the new cumquat.

The rosemary in the Front garden. There is rosemary in two places so that in a few (ten?) years when they need replacing they can be staggered.
