For those who were worried about the bees - here's a selection of the things that have been flowering in my WINTER garden the past 3 months... I don't think the bees are going to miss one dandelion ;-)
We're lucky to have very mild winters in Perth (temps in 20C / 70F+ in the daytime) and lots of rain, so it's really more like spring in a lot of the UK and the US :-) It's the only time I can grow a lot of the "cool climate" flowering plants, like sweet peas, pansies, stocks, spring bulbs, etc, which all keel over when it starts getting warmer.
Clockwise from Top Left: Hardenbergia (Australian native), Osteospermum, Bearded Iris, Dutch Iris, Osteospermum, Pansies, Dahlia, Honeysuckle, Azalea "Antarctica", Flame Pea Bush (Australian native), Everlasting Daisies (Australian native) & Dutch Iris + Centre photo: Bee enjoying some Nemesia ...

Beautiful

Beautiful garden

You've definitely got green fingers. I love all those flowers. They're beautiful.

Just beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing!❤️

I wasn't worried!!! Amazing how people want to find fault.... I love your flowers!

This summer I had the true forget-me-not flowers (the plants are tall and spread like crazy!) all over my raised beds. The honey bees loved them. I kept wanting to cut them back since they were spreading everywhere but since we had so many bees visiting the forget-me-nots we decided to wait until the plants started dying off to cut all the plants back.

So pretty! You must spend a lot of time in your garden.

Looks like your garden is doing wonderful!

I plant Bee and pollinator friendly plants also my passion flower is visited often.... I also have a koi/fish pond and love seeing the dragon flies and damsel flies that visit.

Beautiful. Lavender is great too. Very hardy and bees love it. In the heat I have shallow bee baths as well in my garden.

You have the most beautiful gardens.

Beautiful!

Lol you crack me up! I’m constantly killing off on flower and adding another. I think the 🐝 appreciate the variety

Enchanting 💛 🌺 🌷 🌸 🌹 🌼 🌻 💛

Lovely garden and such gorgeous flowers! xx

Loved this story

Loved it.

No discount in Australia 😠😠😠

Excellent, very highly recommended

Ashley Will. I prefer the Bewitched by Chocolate series to this one but it’s still good. x

I <3 this cover so much! I'll have to add this to my wishlist!

I absolutely adore this series!

Love all your books!! When is the next book in this series?

I have the paperback and the second one on Kindle. I still need the third one.

I wish I could just buy your book. I like to have a book in hand and not on a I pad . Please think of selling them in print.

Just reading this and loving it

Muesli enjoying her afternoon nap in the garden... beneath one of my gorgeous azaleas! This one has been trained as a "standard" (tree shape) and has been the star of the garden the last few weeks. It's fading slightly now but still beautiful. My roses are full of buds and just about to start their spring flush, so they'll be taking over soon! ;-) ... See MoreSee Less

Beautiful and just how pictured your garden. BTW - I'm on the 4th book of the Summer Beach series. You are so descriptive that I can picture it. The description of the banana bread breakfast made my mouth water. You are an awesome author!

Beautiful!

Lovely

Love Muesi's markings - similar to my cat Moggins I had as a child.

So pretty!

Wow

Don’t know which is prettier, Muesli or your garden. You have obviously invested a great deal of love and care in both. ❤️

We have tons of azaleas where we live. I've never seen one shaped into a tree before! It's pretty!

Love it😘

Beautiful. Garden and kitty

I love azaleas! It’s makes me sad to think about the ten year-old azalea bonsai my husband gave me (when we were stationed in Japan over 30 years ago) that I unintentionally killed from over watering though. 😭To make me feel better, he lined the areas by our front door with azalea bushes instead. 🥰

How long have you had this azalea H.Y. Hanna? It’s enormous.

Love to Muesli. Spring has begun here in Tassie

What a pretty garden

How beautiful.

Gorgeous

Love your garden photos.

Love your garden as much as I love your books!

I live in the South in the US & we have lots of azaleas, but I've never seen one trained like that! It's absolutely beautiful!

Muesli knows she is the hallmark of the garden not the azalea.

Plant a patch of Milkweed and attract some Monarchs. Honey would approve.p

This is absolutely gorgeous! I love your place 😁💗💗💗

Oh my yes that’s gorgeous love the colors

Calling all gardeners here - help! Can anyone tell me if I'm lovingly growing a weed again? :P Several have self-seeded in my garden and I don't know what they are. I thought it might be a weed but it's growing really slowly and has remained like this (flat rosette of leaves) for several weeks now... Weeds usually grow & flower really fast! I pulled one up and it has a tap root. Any ideas what it is? I don't want to yank them all up in case they're some kind of flower. Thank you! ... See MoreSee Less

Looks like dandelion

It’s a weed. I don’t know what they are called, we have them here in the States. They spread like crazy.

It looks like flatweed aka dandelion. You can see more here: www.iewf.org/weedid/Hypochoeris_radicata.htm

Looks like the weeds I get in my garden.

Dandelion.

Looks like a dandelion!

Dandelion weed ..... They multiply fast!!! I have never been able to pull one up without breaking the taproot and they always come back in the same spot..... They're kind of pretty when they bloom though.

Lol. I grew a freeloading shrub. Landscaper cut my rose back too far it died. I thought oh green it survived but turns out it was the root stalk but I’m keeping him until Oct when my new rose is shipped. I’m assuming it was root stock since it was 10 years old but seriously could be anything... landscapers trimmed it a couple weeks ago. I figured it could stay for a while since it’s green in the 🌵 desert

Yeh dandelion, they are the scourge of my driveway! But they do flower early and feed bees. Which is always a bonus. 🐝

Dandelion. Super common over in the upper midwest, USA

Definitely a weed.

H.Y. Hanna - Author looks like a dandelion?

Dandelions are good for tea and salads.

It's a dandelion but they're cute :D

It’s a weed

yup...a weed and bees love theme

Dandelion. Bees and iguanas love them!

Agree with everyone, dandelion....a weed.

Dandelion. In the Great Depression era people made salads out of it, and when it flowers-wine. Though I’m told both taste terrible & bitter

Looks like a dandelion, and the one with the heart shaped leaves above the sprinkler hose is a violet.

Dandelion - it’s a weed

Dandelion. The root is wonderful if you dry and clean it. Good for detoxing the body.

Dandelion, a weed but a great one! So many super benefits from them www.verywellhealth.com/the-benefits-of-dandelion-root-89103

It is classed as a weed by some and by others it is a salad vegetable and should be left for bees.

Think so
