The garden is abuzz with bees busily doing what bees do best. There is literally a swarm in the coprosmas which are a mass of tiny green/white blossoms, ready to be pollinated and turned into juicy, sticky berries to sustain the fruit-eating birds through summer and into next winter. Nearby lavender bushes have also attracted their fair share (isn't English spelling marvellous?) of these hard-working insects, who are doing a fine job judging by the number of lavender seedlings growing all over the garden.
The clivias are putting on their best show ever, with 35 of these beauties in bud, with a promise of weeks of colour as they open one after the other.
The deep pink Indian hawthorne has survived another year despite a severe attack by a lawnmower and is always a joy to behold, while the lilac buddleia has burst open its first blossom - heaven scent!
Meanwhile, along the roadside, the white daisies are carpeting Kommetjie in floral snow - no need to travel long distances to enjoy the miracle of Spring's new life!
