Tete-a-tete and Mallee Ruby

I am loving this mix of daffodils.
Especially the ones with the orangey frill.

And these little mini daffodils are delightful.
They have only just started flowering in our roundabout garden.
They are called Tete-a-Tete  and really are the daintiest little things you've ever seen. They only grow to about 25cms high and each flower is no more than 3 or 4 cms across. 

We have been having so much fun (well I have anyway!) wandering around the nurseries over the last few days. 

Ten of these in tubes.....

......and several of these beautiful lemon scented tea trees.
I adore lemon scented anything really. 

And just in case a koala is roaming around in the area, a few manna gums just to entice him in for a look.....

Some more yellow loveliness........

And ten of these "local" Macedon Ranges wattles for good measure.
We are ordering ten of the Kings Park Special callistemons as tubestock.

I was delighted to see these pin cushion hakeas as tubestock at the nursery too. We ended up with all of them left on the shelf (about 7 I think).
We won't plant them in the front native bed this time.

(This is the hakea at your place Bill Snr. )

There were three Mallee Rubies in the bargain section for $3 each.
 Loved the name and couldn't leave them there. Eremophilas are very hardy apparently and they will be new for us. Can't wait to nurture them back from the brink!

We hadn't considered Forsythias before today, when we talked about relocating the one we have in our roundabout garden.
It spends most of it's time being completely ignored except for the next few weeks when it will burst into glorious canary yellow flowers. For the rest of the year we don't even know it's there!
We might get some more and plant them together in a group of three or five.

And just for you Sue and Rossy......one of Bill's magpie photos.   It almost looks like he's captured them mid-yodel! 
Don't mention the football though!!
