Springtime! Beloved of many, especially the home gardeners, when the mild weather is here and sky is blue; and when everywhere around us is the sweetness and fragrance of flowering plants and trees. Even our potted wisteria in the veranda just couldn’t wait to show off its mauve and white flowers and throws its perfume around. Today, as if on cue, it has burst open many of its flowering buds to welcome the first day of spring in Australia.
