More fragrant flowers in winter! These are the flowers of a Chinese Honeysuckle plant, which grows as a climbing, rambling shrub. It's covered in tiny white heavily scented flowers. Apparently it has medicinal properties and is used in traditional Chinese medicine. This close-up photo was taken with a standard 50mm lens, not my usual macro lens, hand-held and single-handed too! #flowers #whiteflowers #fragrantflowers #winterflowers #honeysuckle #chinesehoneysuckle #macro #macrophotography #permaculture #foodforest #urbanpermaculture #urbanagriculture #organicgardening #organicfoodgardening #deepgreenpermaculture

While on the theme of fragrant flowers in the winter garden, here's a close-up of a pretty little flower that packs heap of fragrance and a dash of colour, the humble violet! They're also a herb, the leaves are used as an antiseptic in herbal medicine. #flowers #purpleflowers #violet #macro #macrophotography #permaculture #foodforest #urbanpermaculture #urbanagriculture #organicgardening #organicfoodgardening #deepgreenpermaculture

Tahitian lime tree flowering in winter. Citrus flowers add fragrance to the garden but also provide bees with an excellent nectar source over the cooler seasons. Lemons tend to flower all year round, perfect for bees! #flowers #citrusflowers #limeflowers #tahitianlimeflowers #beeflowers #nectaryplants #permaculture #foodforest #urbanpermaculture #urbanagriculture #organicgardening #organicfoodgardening #deepgreenpermaculture #macro #macrophotography

Lime fruit in winter. Tahitian lime is a great citrus fruit to grow, and even a dwarf tree like this one can produce more lime than you'll ever need! Both dwarf and full sized trees can be grown in large pots and containers. #fruit #fruitrees #citrus #citrustree #lime #limetree #tahitianlime #permaculture #foodforest #urbanpermaculture #urbanagriculture #organicgardening #organicfoodgardening #deepgreenpermaculture

Calendula flower, bringing a warm, vibrant glow to the winter garden! These are an excellent companion plant for attracting bees for pollination, and beneficial insects to control pests. The flowers are edible, and are also used medicinally to make an ointment for relief of skin conditions. They're an annual plant but self-seed on their own quite easily, and look perfectly in place growing throughout a vegetable garden, no edible garden would be complete without calendulas! 🙂 #flowers #orangeflowers #daisy #calendula #companionplants #herbs #medicinalherbs #medicinalplants #edibleflowers #permaculture #foodforest #urbanpermaculture #urbanagriculture #organicgardening #organicfoodgardening #deepgreenpermaculture

Babaco, also known as champagne fruit due to their juicy effervescent lemon sherbet flavour, are cousins to the papaw tree, but grow perfectly well in temperate climates. Unripe fruit stay on the tree over winter and finish off ripening in spring, turning a golden yellow colour! 🙂 #babaco #champagnefruit #subtropicalfruit #exoticfruit #permaculture #foodforest #urbanpermaculture #urbanagriculture #organicgardening #organicfoodgardening #deepgreenpermaculture

Daisy flower close-up, showing amazing spiral patterns in centre. This is a feverfew flower, and like all members of the daisy (Asteraceae) family it attracts beneficial insects such as ladybirds, hoverflies, lacewings and parasitic wasps which eat garden pests, but its leaves are also pest repellent, being closely related to the pyrethrum daisy. Leaves are medicinal too! #flowers #daisy #macro #macrophotography #permaculture #foodforest #urbanpermaculture #urbanagriculture #organicgardening #organicfoodgardening #deepgreenpermaculture #companionplants #companionplanting #herbs #medicinalherbs #feverfew

Chillies in midwinter in a temperate climate? No problem! The Rocoto Manzano tree chilli grows into a 2m small tree and produces chillies all year round, and it's perennial so it keeps going year after year! 🙂 #chillies #perennialedibleplants #rocoto #rocotomanzano #permaculture #foodforest #urbanpermaculture #urbanagriculture #organicgardening #organicfoodgardening #deepgreenpermaculture
