garden's at its best in spring

I think I've been trying to do too much with the garden. Like expecting it to look fabulous all year round. It's always different. Probably of all the seasons,  a hot summer challenges it the most. But what it responds to best is a spring like this one, mostly mild with quite a bit of rain.

nearly-opened buds of Love in the Mist, Lychnis,  Seaside Daisies,
Forget Me Nots and Diggers Speedwell in the background

Leptospermums aka Tea Trees, different species, some flowering, some not

This is not an autumn scene.
I had the camera on the wrong setting, but quite like the effect.
