Springtime in the Southern Hemisphere

So, I was busy on my roadside verge this morning building another rock garden.

I definitely need to buy more succulents! But, here’s my work in progress.

We are just coming out of winter (dry season) but there’s hints of spring everywhere in the garden! Nature is so beautiful! My peas are coming along nicely :slight_smile:

I don’t know the names of the flowers!

The cutest little :beetle:

Much appreciated. I’ll research it or something similar perhaps.
