The annual two-week Leura Garden Festival was partly clouded by unusually rainy weather this spring. We managed to catch the last days of the display despite sporadic showers and windy conditions.
Tulips
These bulbs thrive in temperate climate. Though Leura is on the highlands in the Blue Mountain region of NSW, there are not many tulip blossoms this season compared to Canberra Floriade and the Tesselaar Farm in Victoria.
Violet tulips are not as common and a natural favourite of garden appreciators.
The champagne white tulips are lovely. The photo probably did not do justice to the actual flowers.
Beautiful bright red orange Clivia blooms in multiple sprays from spring to autumn. These bulbs serve as a colourful hedge in gardens and do not require much work.

Stunning hues
Solitary but not aloof? Fortuitous to capture the flowering stages of a magenta blossom in cascade.

Liliacs leave a long lasting impression for their stunning looks and fragrance. Do they look like flower clusters or a bunch of purple grapes?
Autum colours in spring time - a surreal feast for the eyes.
A very nice arrangement of iris bulb flowers in this rockery garden.
Is this a butterfly, bird or flower? Looks like a merger between blue pea and pansy.
Cultivated orchids are majestic and refreshing to the viewer.

Many visitors simply fell in love with the spectacular view, envious of the enjoyment bestowed on the owners of one of the Leura gardens.

What a creative and practical idea it is to grow small succulents in the cracks between pavers and steps! (below)
