These are the flowers we had in the garden in late summer 2013/2014, mainly on 16 February 2014. They're not all overly pretty, but the purpose of the photos is to record what was in the garden at the time.
This page shows most, but not all, of the flower photos I took: some were repetitive. They're all there on the photo page for 16 February, and there's a description of the more interesting ones in my diary.
One of the big differences is the lack of water. It's been a very dry summer, and many of the irrigation drippers have clogged up, resulting in a number of very unhappy-looking plants:

Of all the Morning Glory seeds I planted, none has grown beyond 30 cm high, and this is the only flower I've been able to find:

Mainly, though, it's just that flowers aren't blooming. Things should be coming up roses, but these are the only ones I could find:

|
The first is the Iceberg that I planted last September, and one of the few plants where I've paid attention to the drippers (two clogged up in that time!)
About the only interesting thing is a succulent that I bought some years ago, which flowered in the first autumn and then not again. Now it's flowering again:
|
Here's most of the rest. This time last year I took 77 photos. This year it's only 54.
