#NarcissusTazetta, #daffodil or #paperwhite are blooming profusely here in #Gardenvale #Australia. So apt is this suburb name, too!
This #Melbs morning is cold but the sun is out, an awesome winters day ahead without many clouds, nil rain (thus far!) and blue skies!
Perfect conditions of late, for early spring blooms, such as these and much much more!

And here I thought #autumn was done and dusted here in #Melbs!
Have noticed a distinct change in transformational timing of some species of #flora this year.
We’re in early #winter now.
Some leaves turned and fell early, yet others late. Some flowers e.g. hydrangea made a small comeback with the onset of warmer weather early to mid-autumn (usually flower throughout summer).
It has been an enlightening period in this regard, some may say strange times indeed!
Anyways, this wax tree or sumac is living its best life, displaying its gorgeousness no matter the season!

A little research has established this is grandiflora, a hybrid species of flowering plant in the honeysuckle family Caprifoliaceae.
Made up of #Linnaea (aka #abelia cross with #grandiflora.
Lovely soft colours. And leaves that are plump and healthy.
These flowers were super fragrant. As in noticeable from a couple of feet away. These flowers look as if they’re produced in clusters, mainly white, tinged pink, bell-shaped, to 2 cm long.
Unlike most flowering shrubs in this suburban (cultivated / managed) setting, the species blooms from late summer to well into the autumn.
This ‘find’ was pleasing, even in the rain!

Altext: Lovely soft colours, that these small flowers display. And leaves that are green, plump and healthy. The bush itself is about 2 metres wide by 1.8 metres tall, had been well trimmed and shaped last year I suspect, growing behind a white picket fence. Recent rain shows the leaves and flowers have droplets of water. These flowers were super fragrant… very noticeable from a couple of feet away. These flowers look as if they’re produced in clusters, mainly white, tinged pink, bell-shaped, to 2 cm long. They look to me like miniature lilies as they have gorgeous white filaments and anthers.
