Spring Flowers at my Christchurch Home

by fishandchips - last update: Oct 9, 2006

Rhododendran - Sir Robert Peel

This is about 7 feet tall and makes quite an impressive display. Lots of big flowers.

Daffodils

These guys have a temporary existance and around my town are the signal that summer is not too far away.

Lilly of the Valley

This flowering bush is nice in the garden as it keeps its white flowers for very long periods against a varigated background.

Wysteria

This purple terror hangs out over our pergola in front of the homestead. Nice to sit under when having a BBQ or a casual wine. We also have a white version. They grow like bad weeds so need plenty of trimming each year.

Blackbird nest in the Potatoe Vine

Not sure why this is but we have, what we are sure of, the same family that hangs out around our place. One gets the feeling that they are suffering us living at their place........

Camellia

Nice when flowering and a good green background when not. Doesn't like getting wet!!

Flowering Cherry Tree

Not the best photo of this tree that is in full bloom for a very short time each year. Stunning display when it is at its best.

Flowering Orange Blossom

Not sure about this one but looks nice in flower.
