Global warming . Flowers are blooming early all along the east coast this year, with a generally mild winter.

Yeah mild is probably the wrong word. I'd call it a hot winter!!
Had days in the mid 20s.
Thats pretty normal I'd say!

Nah mate those threads will be deleted and so will posts about the subject I've been told!!
Stick to the boring shit of how to obtain seeds and how good people's medical weed is or isn't and how much it costs!
This is probably the best thread on here currently!!
Not many active diaries these days either!
Used to be cool as fuck here but not anymore!
25c at my place today wintery as all fuck!

Orchids starting to flower. The one in the background has a much larger number of flowers, just starting to open now
Spring onions in various stages.

I might have to look into some hibiscus, that looks pretty cool!

Nice You must have slightly acidic soil? I actually add camelia / gardenia food (they like slightly acidic soil) on mine so they come out blue. Even adding VERY diluted vigegar will turn them blue.

Coffee grounds are good too.

The standard red flower Hibiscus plants are quite hardy compared to some of the more exotic coloured cultivars that can be more sensitive to grow.
I think I still have one outlier in the garden that has red flowers the size of a dinner plate. It dies back to nothing after "it's" season. If it has survived the winter it should start growing soon, but the plant and the flowers are very fragile.
Still, they are all spectacular flowers.

Very easy to strike mate if you want heaps , we do we do the markets once a month with my girls nursery.

Nice looking plant mate.

I can't be the only one who enjoys flowers in their garden. So this is for all those who grow their gardens for masses of flowers to showcase their efforts!!
I've been waiting patiently for my Ranunculus to pop, after planting them upside down months ago and getting ~40% germination :/ . They finally did and they're just what I hoped!! The closed ones should open to full show in the vase.
Ranunculus (red, yellow, dark pink ones).
Carnation
Alstroemeria

We have tried so many times with carnations from seed and just can't succeed I have no idea why done all by the book ( maybe that's the problem.
