We’ve had friends from Bavaria staying for the last few days. Last night we camped in the bush and a possum and a woylie came to visit. I’ll write about them later but today we took them to the farm where I grew up.
My cousin and her husband who now own the farm were away but told us to take our guests on a tour of the farm. We also filled the garden ponds and were able to rescue a blue-tongued lizard from one. He was very lucky we came along as he seemed very unwell when we got him out. However, he waddled off after a while so I hope he will recover.
The collage shows some of the beautiful flowers in her garden which was once my Mum’s pride and joy. The roses are just magnificent.

Plants in our family gardens become living memories. I am sorry the pictures will not go up.

@JudyEv Here I am back because I noticed they were up. That looks like amaryllis in the upper left corner. Here those are sold seasonally and mostly bloom at Christmas.

@GardenGerty We also call it hippeastrum. A bit strange that it's blooming almost at our Christmas too.

I hope the lizard survives his swim in the pool.
I'm sorry the photos seem to be having problems on myLot again. I would have loved seeing your mom's garden flowers.
Hopefully they'll get photos fixed again soon.

@DaddyEvil I wish I'd got more photos of the roses but never mind. Perhaps we'll be back there again soon.

There are varieties of marsupials there. You must have felt a great sense of familiarity when you saw your mother old garden.

Once the picture issue is fixed I'm looking forward to seeing your moms beautiful garden. My mom always loved roses too and pink ones.

Yes, they have loved the farm and garden as much as we did which is nice.
