Admittedly my last post did feature one very pretty freesia in the image - but I've been saving these lilacs, peonies and roses especially for today. Oh, I wish I lived in the Southern Highlands, or Tasmania, where the climate is ripe for peonies and lilacs. As I don't I'll just have to content myself with holidays during their blooming period. Sounds reasonable doesn't it?
We can't do lilacs in Sydney? Sadness. I was thinking of getting one in...
ReplyDeleteYou might be able to. I'm in Newcastle and too close to the beach. I think they require a fair chunk of cold to flower correctly. Maybe they've now created a hybrid that'll survive?
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the dream for these beautiful, decadent, scented goodies.
ReplyDeleteI've managed to get a few jonquils to share their loveliness in my garden but Queensland is just too hot.
