Spring is here.

It’s spring in Australia and here in Tasmania that means lots of buds, new buds on the flowering trees, budding leaves on my two potted rose bushes and of course many flowers that are starting to bud including the tulips.

Here in northern Tasmania the daffodils are still blooming, in the Huon I think they would be finished by now. It is just coming in to tulip season and normally there would be a big tulip festival in Wynyard. This year there will be a scaled down event with smaller things happening throughout October. Tasmania is still closed to interstate tourists. However, you can’t stop the flowers from blooming and the tulip farm at Table Cape will be open to visitors from this weekend. Naomi and I will visit the next time she is here in two weeks.

I love this time of year so here is a selection of photos from previous springs.
