In the Garden

I'm not an outdoorsy type of person, let alone the type to enjoy pottering around in the garden.  My few experiences with being responsible for a pot plant has usually ended with the plant's death - I even managed to kill a cactus once.  So, yesterday, when the Terror was trying to convince me it was her dinner time (an hour and a half early, I might add), I went for a wander round our back yard and took the following photos.

The veggie patch:

 Cauliflower, going slightly purple:

 

Teeny green capsicums, I think.

  

A row of cos lettuce.

 I suspect that these may be radishes.  Which look to be about the size of my fist.

Peas!

Pea flowers.

Something else has been enjoying the greenery available.

Bottlebrush.  The birds love these, and in a few months, the ground will be covered in red from where the parrots lop them off the bush.

Yellow flower (I have no idea what this plant is), with a busy little bee.

Geraldton Wax.  Unfortunately, it was hard to get a picture of this where the colour wasn't all washed out.

Pretty orange flowers.  Again, I have no idea what this plant is, and it's actually hanging over the back fence from a neighbouring yard.

I have no idea why there is a plant marker for "Lavender English" sitting in the middle of one of the rose gardens (not that you can tell it's in the middle of a rose garden from this shot).  There definitely doesn't appear to be anything vaguely lavenderish in this bed at all.

A final photo over the house at the back, looking at the spiffy cloud formations.  With a couple of lonely roses in the corner.
