These are the flowers we had in the garden in mid-winter 2013, mainly on 19 July 2013. They're not all overly pretty, but the purpose of the photos is to record what was in the garden at the time.
This page shows most, but not all, of the flower photos I took: some were repetitive. They're all there on the photo pages around 19 July.
I've been neglecting the garden lately, but the flowers are still coming, though compared to last year some are missing, notably the Senna aciphylla, the Hedychium coronarium and the Cyclamens. The Cyclamens are probably a victim of neglect, but the others are more likely to be due to the cold weather we had this year. In general things don't look very different from a year ago. It's interesting to note that the Correa and the Gentiana are flowering. The Correa was particularly unhappy last year, and this year the Gentiana—supposedly cold-sensitive—has only just started flowering. Hopefully it will look better next year.

The mystery shrub that I almost chopped down last month was spared because it appeared to be about to bud. But that proved not to be the case, at least not with these buds, which have become leaves:

Here are most of the photos: I've omitted some that don't seem to be worth it, but they're all in the photo pages for 19 July 2013.
