macadamia and hippeastrum

Two Photos  - the macadamia are in flower -  we have 2 trees that are about 5m tall. They provide a good quantity of nuts that the grandchildren enjoy collecting and cracking open when they are here visiting us.


Also the hippeastrum bulbs are starting to flower. We do have some completely red ones some places in the garden but this one is a mixed colour.  Hippeastrums are our substitute  for daffodils and tulips that don't grow/flower here. The plants  beside are day lilies and zephyranthes - the latter we also call  storm lilies as they tend to flower after a period of rain
