These are the flowers we had in the garden in early autumn 2015, on 15 March 2015. They're not all overly pretty, but the purpose of the photos is to record what was in the garden at the time.

On the down side, compared to last year the Bromeliads and Gasteria aren't flowering. Nor is the Xanthorrhoea quadrangulata, which looks as if it may be a once-a-lifetime bloomer. Here it was last year:

On the other hand, the Alstroemerias are doing much better than last year (first photo):

And this grass, planted years ago, is also flowering nicely:

And the winter-flowering Hellebore seems to have made it through the summer:
