My December summer garden and Seasons Greetings

I love my December summer front garden. Every year it blooms glorious colours - red, yellow, pink, bluey mauve - and best of all these plants come back year after year with little maintenance. They bloom, I water and  clip them back a little, and next summer they bloom again. Beautiful. So today I share some of them with you.  

The Australian native red bottle-brush

 Mauve-blue agapanthus, against the backdrop of the red coral bush, and along the bottom my wild hibiscus - an Australian native 

Pinks and mauves of the hydrangea - I must admit that the ones along the top row are in my neighbour's garden

 Roses, though they have finished their first glorious flush

 A yellow daisy that is a wonderful border plant, frangipani, and the yellow rose bush

 Native yellow and green kangaroo paws

For those that celebrate I wish you a very Happy Christmas, and for those who don't celebrate I wish you happiness that comes with this season. For all good health, peace, and wonderful times making memories with those you love. Let us all be kind, thoughtful, caring and good to each other. 
Don't forget Christmas is not just for one day and is a time for family and sharing

And prayers for light to brighten the darkness and hope for the future.

 I send special thoughts and love to those who have someone missing from their tables for the first time this year. And also special thoughts and prayers go to those battling or who have sustained losses in the devastating bushfires that are all over our country of Australia at the moment. 

 One of my favourites - from Enya - The Spirit of Christmas Past

 And because it is hot down here downunder at Christmas - something a little different and light-hearted - strolling through a summer wonderland from Ronan Keating -
