winter flowering plants

I love plants and I think they are the champions or the star performers of our gardens like ornaments and sculptures they add that special personal touch. They can stamp a garden that in many respects says this garden belongs in a particular geographic region. Or does it? Many plants can live in different climates and different countries they just need the right conditions to thrive this could be called a micro climate situation. Where the growing environment is altered slightly to benefit and extend the range of plants that can be grown in situ. This means the plant will flower at different times in the growing season compared to the same plants growing in a different region. This I find is an interesting and rewarding benefit of a garden that is designed to maximise the growing environment for tender plants. I am keen to find situations and techniques people have used to allow tender plants to grow in regions where it is not considered possible. You're welcome to leave any related comments. Below is a collection of photos of plants in flower in Canberra, Australia for the end of May into June. I will be adding to this collection on a regular basis. Please check back at another time.
