When we bought our home forty-five years ago this lanky bush had grown up in our lilac grove. These tiny 3/8 inch blossoms are always among the first to bloom, and we look forward to them each year.
This shrub flowers from late autumn through winter to spring in a corner of our garden. It's always been there and I've never been able to put a name to it (haven't tried that hard though). Here it is in light snow in February but it's looking very similar now as I write (late November).
It's got that sharpish but veiled, low contrast look of a very good but very, very old lens.

I was given this succulent plant from my grandson a few years ago. It is flowering for the first time now (April 2020).
Have a lovely day/night:)
Thank you for your lovely comments, they are appreciated.

I've only been aware of this beautiful bush for a year or so. It definitely blossomed several weeks earlier this year. HBW!
Returning from our once-a-day allowed exercise I saw this bee labouring on a blossom of a flowering currant bush. I think he was suffering from the chill wind as he barely moved around the flower whilst I took a few shots. The yellow bokeh is from forsythia in the neighbour's garden.
I do fear for bees, as in addition to the possible effects of oilseed rape fields/chemicals, I have seen sick bees, deceased bees and bees who do not seem to know the right time to go to work.

Flowering heaths near the Posbank, part of National Park 'De Veluwezoom', located in the Dutch province of Gelderland, north and east of Arnhem. It is an area of 50 square kilometers at the southeastern edge of the Veluwe, a complex of terminal push moraines from the Saalian glaciation.
It has a pronounced relief by dutch standards, with the highest point in the park at 110 meters above sea level. The landscape of the park consists of forests and heathland.
Bloeiende heide nabij de Posbank
De Posbank bij Rheden is de naam van een monument en uitkijkpunt op de rand van een met heide begroeide stuwwal op de zuidelijke Veluwe. Het monument ligt op een hoogte van 90 m boven NAP, van waaraf een uitzicht mogelijk is over het IJsseldal, de Achterhoek en de Liemers tot in Duitsland.
Ter vergelijking: het hoogste punt op de Veluwe is het nabijgelegen "Signaal Imbosch" (110 m).
De Posbank is onderdeel van Nationaal Park "De Veluwezoom", een natuurgebied van 5000 hectare noordoostelijk van Arnhem.
De Posbank is in de volksmond ook de benaming van het heidegebied waarin het ligt. De eigenlijke naam van het heidegebied is echter Herikhuizerveld.

While it's been warm with lots of rain this past week, the flowering quince has gone nuts! The shrubs are covered in pink buds & blossoms. Chorus frogs are in a roar and Spring peepers are starting to chirp. And the blue hydrangeas are greening out too early as usual. And I stopped to talk to the Green anole sunning on the downspout ... turned his brown eyes blue ;-)
We've got a string of frosty nights ahead - the last 2 weeks of January are our coldest days of the year. North Georgia

This large, spectacular flowering crab blooms at the end of our communal yard with our neighbours. Unfortunately nobody's perfect; the fruit are insipid.

Thank you to everyone who visits, faves, and comments.
I am not a plant person, I can barely tell a daisy from a mum. This beautiful plant was growing on the the shoreline of Wehrspann Lake, south of Omaha. I posted this on Facebook, asking people to ID it, and according to a majority of the good people on Nebraska Through the Lens, this is a Flowering Rush, a species of Butomus. Also known as Grass Rush. Botanical name, Butomus umbellatus. A perennial, they say it's an herb!
This is 'Corymbia ficifolia', the 'Mini Red' flowering gum - native to the south-west of Western Australia, but now prolific in Cherrybrook, in northern Sydney!!
I had to fight off hordes of Rainbow Lorikeets, squadrons of King Parrots and a small army of Crimson Rosellas, in order to photograph these eucalyptus blossoms in the late afternoon, today Sunday, 13th December, 2020.
But even then the Rainbow Lorikeets, working alone or in pairs, would insist on landing right next to the blossoms I was trying to photograph.
Here are some images to show you what I had to contend with:

These yucca plants send their flowering stalks upwards into a foreboding sky as if to escape the untidy ground from which they arise. A battalion of spears is ready to defend their preciousness from any unwanted intruder.
What I was really hoping for was a rainbow, but other than a faded stub low on the horizon, a wimpy excuse for one at best, I had no luck.
Yet the conditions seemed perfect for a grand arch, the almost black sky of a receding storm in the east with some trailing rain bands and the sun peeking out from under the clouds in the west, but it wasn't to be.
So I photographed yuccas instead.
