Winter potted colour - Winter 2016

Various flowers that have brightened up the garden in winter 2016.

A whole selection, it was actually a very colourful winter. 

One that was extremely prolific were the purple and white/lavender pansies. The coral and yellow snapdragon also bloomed profusely for a while but we had some temperamental weather and it wasn't doing too well. We have since moved it to a different location and it is recovering and trying to flower again.

The pansies aboved were purchased as a small and cheap 'potted colour' and they completely took over the hanging basket and were blooming all through winter.

We even spotted some seeds and pansies are meant to be very good at self-seeding so maybe there will be some pleasant surprises next year.

The Fuchsia "Candy Lights" also started blooming in July/August. Very interesting flowers and a nice bright contrasting colour.

We managed to get a Kangaroo Paw (Anigozanthus Bush Pearl) for cheap and it flowered in early August with fuzzy pink spikes.

Our Westringia (Wynyabbie Gem) has also been flowering profusely all winter with small pale purple blooms all over.
