Bloom day in May

Well I really thought there was nothing in the garden but to my great joy I found quite a few things which I shall quickly post as the dog is harassing me to take him for a walk, bah bah. 

A variety of Bromeliad, don't know which one

Streptocarpus, not sure of species

Heliotropium 'Lord Roberts'

Kniphofia something

Rocket

Crimson broad beans (although I have my doubts that they should be in flower right now)

Euphorbia 'Diamond Frost'

My blueberries really shouldn't be flowering

Salvia (this cutting actually found it's way into my pocket one day)

Got this black salvia from the Melbourne flower show a few years back

So that's it for me this month but rest assured if you pop over to  maydreamsgardens you can see what is bloomin all around the world.

42

Well it is my birthday today and in this house hold when you have a birthday you are allowed to be Emperor for the whole day and you can decree anything you want as most good emperor's should.  So I can't complain I didn't have to work or even do the dishes so that can't be bad.

I decided that I should document my day and I have come up with 42 things that have made me smile.  Here they are:

Just before the sun rose

sunrise at Narrawallee

Bliss burger (it's name honest)

I think these are not native to the area

Chia seeds come from a saliva plant (some of it fell into my pocket but didn't survive the journey home)

These fish were staring at me and I don't know why
