A shallow creek running through the deep bush, in #Blackwood #Victoria #Australia on this fine Spring day.
Ferns and #gumtrees adorned this space for hundreds of square kilometres… thriving in their natural habitat.
Earlier, #kookaburras were heard ringing out amongst the tree tops.
Blue Wrens flitted throughout the trees.
And no other person was around, for miles.
This is kinda Heaven on Earth!
Sound up!!

#Blackwood, #Victoria is home to these gorgeous orange flowering native shrubs.
Found it tough to identify these, therefore if anyone knows what they are, please enlighten us!
They were in abundance… we’re in late Spring here.
The backdrop of gorgeous gums completed the scene.
Just gorgeous!

#Roses have come out to play, here in #Melb.
They’re full, radiant and lush. Bursting with colour and that fresh distinct #rose aroma.
They’re exquisite! 🌹

#Mckinnon, #Australia is home to this beautiful #WisteriainSensis, commonly known as the Chinese wisteria.
It drapes beautifully over a rear fence, backing onto a public reserve.
Gorgeous, huh?!

Just look at these awesome #Rhododendron… pink as anything and oh so delicate, elegant in appearance.
I’ve seen many in white, too!
Most species are native to eastern Asia and the Himalayan region, but smaller numbers occur elsewhere in Asia, and in North America, Europe and Australia.
Fun fact; there exists, 1,024 different species of Rhododendron 😳🙌

What a lovely display this morning, here in #Mckinnon, #Australia!
This magnificent #WisteriainSensis, commonly known as the Chinese wisteria, is a species of flowering plant in the pea family, native to China.
I’m in Love with these 🙏💜💜

#AcaciaSuaveolens (sweet #wattle) is a shrub species endemic to Australia.
Found particularly, the south eastern parts.
I love these pale yellow blooms.

Another suburban #gumtree, featuring its unique trunk patterns, akin to typical army fatigues.
The different colour of bark patches are in fact varying layers that have aged over the months. The lighter shades, obvs, are the newer layers.
This beauty is at least 60 foot tall and has most likely been around for longer than most of us, even though it’s a relatively mid-aged tree, I’d suggest.
Many #gums live in excess of 200 years, I read with interest!
You should see these monumental trees in a bush setting. In numbers, they are breathtaking.

Before and After…
The first photo was snapped a month ago.
The second pic was taken prior to sunset the other night. This tree has just commenced blooming.
I plan on keeping an eye on this one and update you with its blooming evolution.
What a beautiful transformation… a gorgeous work in progress.

The trusty flora ID App tells me these leaves belong to an #AmericanSweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), which is native to warm temperate areas of eastern North America and tropical montane regions of Mexico and Central America.
Sweetgums are recognizable by the combination of its five-pointed star-shaped leaves (similar to maple leaves) and its hard, spiked fruits.
This tree is almost bare, however a handful of beautiful leaves still remain. Notice how the setting sun accentuates the rich network of veins throughout each leaf structure?
And their colours are oh so gorgeous, too!

I took the first picture one month ago, ahead of this beauty blooming.
The remainder are pictures from now, late afternoon today!
I find it astounding how such flowering bloom can and does, grow in such a short time and with so much beauty and grace.
This is a #peach. For years I believed it to be cherry. So today, I learned something new about this gorgeous specimen!
(I’ve always noticed this tree but never had the opportunity to check for fruit, nor verified it’s identity). Time to remedy that, this year!!
I love this tree. #stunning.

Lovely tall, mature #Gumtree’s (their trunks and gorgeous patterning feature in this post) grow proud here in a public reserve in #oakleighsouth #Australia.
There’s no doubting where the inspiration from army fatigues came from. Mother Nature herself!!

Check out this #Freesia. Have only spotted a couple and managed to stop to snap this one during my working day.
They are native to the eastern side of southern Africa, from Kenya south to South Africa.
They have fragrant funnel-shaped flowers, and these were sweet with a perfumed aroma.
They come in many colours of the rainbow, including a variety of shades (mixes).

A huge #Acacia aka #wattle pre sunrise this morning.
How glorious is that full bloom? A sea of yellow, wow!
Cold last night, car was iced, a low of 1c (34F) but these, like many here in Melbs are hardy and resilient to frost.

This bicoloured #daffodil is beautiful.
Simple, sweet and cheery.
Early blooming, as with many flora of late here in Melbs, but only a couple more weeks until #spring propper… and more of same. I am sure of it!

Isn’t this bloom just delicious?
Well, hopefully they signal delish fruit to come… as my ID app tells me this is #peach (Prunus persica).
It is a deciduous tree, apparently first domesticated in Zhejiang province of Eastern China.
It will (hopefully!) produce edible juicy peaches (the glossy-skinned, non-fuzzy varieties)… the birds are going to have a ball with this one, when the time comes!

#Strelitzia is a genus of five species of perennial plants, native to South Africa.
In South Africa, it is commonly known as the #CraneFlower.
The gorgeous ‘flowers’ are so colourful and cheery. A welcomed sight, during late #winter here in Melbs!

A lush bush of what I think is a spreading #phlox displaying nicely in #Mckinnon, #Australia this cool and crisp morning (circa 10 degrees Celsius).
Not sure I’ve seen these before in all honesty.
Just lovely!
#PhloxDiffusa (per ush, happy to being corrected!!)

#LavandulaStoechas, the Spanish lavender or topped lavender (U.S.) or French lavender (U.K.), is a flowering plant in the family Lamiaceae, occurring natively in several Mediterranean countries, including France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Turkey and Greece.
A cool winters morning here in #Mckinnon, #Australia but these beauties are out in the sporadic sunlight, displaying their brilliance!

#PrunusCerasifera is a species of plum known by the common names cherry plum and myrobalan plum.
It is native to Southeast Europe and Western Asia and is naturalised in the British Isles.
Also naturalized in parts of SE Australia where it is considered to be a mildly invasive weed of bushland near urban centers.
Weed or not, I love it!

#CamelliaOleifera, which originated in China, is notable as an important source of edible oil (known as tea oil or #camellia oil) obtained from its seeds.
It is commonly known as the oil-seed camellia or tea oil camellia.
These streaked pink petals are divine. Healthy too!

Can’t quite identify this #Acacia, known affectionately (tho not by allergy sufferers) as #wattle, here downunder.
My car was parked nearby this beauty and now sports a thin film of yellow pollen.
The bursts of bloom are lovely.

More #Camellia for your viewing pleasure, from suburban #BenteighEast #Australia!
These blooms are bountiful and healthy. The petal structure is bright and their heads are full.
They’re a robust flower that are so giving, especially this time of year in the southern hemisphere during #winter time.

A Gorgeous pot of #primrose outside of a residential home in south east Melbs caught my eye.
Did a u-turn and snapped away, as it wasn’t going to go without sharing.
Visual food for the soul!
Yum!!
Happy Sunday to you and yours.

#Banks’ #grevillea flowering clusters are rustic, unkempt and straggly. But I love ‘em.
They’re colourful, unique and oh so aussie.
Endemic to Queensland, they grow prolifically here in Melbourne. And they are a visual delight to behold. They make my heart sing.

It is a #ViburnumTinus, the laurustinus, laurustine or laurestine… sounds akin to a mouthwash huh (Oz audience will understand!)??
They’re in early bloom and there were half a dozen healthy looking specimens growing in this front yard in #Mckinnon #Austrlia, so I expect these to be in full bloom in the next week or so.
Delicate, small and pretty looking flowers. Just gorgeous.

HELP!!!
Anyone know what this is?
I wanted to say #GladiolusCommunis and exclaim ‘#HelloPossums!!’
But I had a sneaking suspicion it could be something totally different.
And so too does my ID app… in fact it suggests anything from #Lobelia, #Montbretia, #CannaLily - and yes of course… #Gladiolus!
Google image search wanted to tell me it’s a gladdy… but you know what.. I’m not so sure.
Whatever it is, ‘twas snapped on my sisters farm in #Centralvictoria a few weeks back… deep red and it is happy as Larry.
Oh what the heck, I’ll just say it;
#HelloPossums!!!!🤣🤣🤣

More #Lantanas - these one’s botanic name is #Lantanacanescens and I like them because they’re simple and the colour structure of whites, merging into the yellow centres.
Each head is in various stages of bloom.
They’re delicate and healthy looking. I’d suggest this shrub has been well watered. Most likely fed as well.
