I am always surprised how quickly spring turns up in Adelaide. From my Scottish experience, spring definitely turns up around the beginning of summer. Here it is always just after the middle of winter. There have been blossoms blooming for a couple of weeks, the geraniums are in full bloom and the Calla Lily's are just coming out.
Not that winter is so bad in Adelaide, it is just that warmer weather is going to be around more often now.

Are all the flowers pink in Adelaide?
Your blog looks a bit funny...is that because the title pic is too wide?

We only have pink flowers on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The other days of the week they are blue, except on the third week of the month when they are yellow.

Thanks
I will take a looksee.
Just yesterday I was in the mountains and I saw a cherry tree in blossom. And I commented that I hadn't seen cherry blossoms in years. There used to be a cherry tree like that outside my high school. The kids used to pick the cherries and eat them, even though they were ALWAYS sour. Go figure.
Thanks for bringing back that memory. Its a beautiful picture.
When I lived in Washington DC, the Cherry Blossom Festival was a big deal. The trees were donated by the Japanese and sometimes they cooperated and bloomed at the time of the festival. Sometimes not. Very beautiful around the Monuments.
Adelaide is a beautiful city, the city of churches. Weirdo team - Port Adelaide and they're all crims down that way but still.
Are you in Adelaide proper or just outside? Do you go to the Adelaide Hills?
We live in the Western Suburbs in the urban area towards Port Adelaide. We have relatives in the hills and Elizabeth and Hannah were there on Saturday. I prefer in town, although there are many die hards who would not live anywhere but the hills.
Adelaide is a great place to live and as for the crims, I have lived in Washington DC, Baltimore, New York.. I just don't think Adelaide compares.
