What's flowering the first week of August in Auckland, NZ

Mentioning that our August is like your March, makes me wonder about the
date the plants start flowering as I have not made a note of these
before. And with the mild winter we have had, I suspect several of
these are a month ahead of themselves. Some of the apple trees have not
even lost their leaves yet. While Hydrangeas etc are putting out spring
growth.

And as for being opposite, I have just discovered what the work
Antipodes means. And according to that Spain, Portugal and Morocco are
the Antipode to NZ. Place is not all, but I wonder how bulb growing can
compare.

And as for the moss, it is the shady side of the garden, so yes, it gets
moss there. And we get rain, at the moment we are going through 4 lows
one after the other. The ground is getting soggy.

So your August down under would be like my March here.
Just look at all that moss! You do get rain.
