We had a little gentle rain overnight - enough to water the new bushes and ground covers we have planted over the past month. The gardenia above, planted just over a month ago, flowered for the first time overnight - beauty and droplets combined.
Bees were not deterred by the droplets and so found tiny blossoms that were sheltering under the grevillea.
The wind and rain had resulted in many blue quandong fruit on the path and under the tree.
Many other blossoms on my walk this morning held onto their rain droplets- including Fiona's new favourite purple flowered ground cover and heath myrtle.
And a couple of Graham's orchids including the thick 'wall' of dancing lady blossoms.
Grevillea 'Peaches and Cream' is a favourite cultivar and the scent of all the Gardenias coming into flower is divine, I love summer!
