#LigustrumJaponicum, known as #JapanesePrivet is a species of Ligustrum (privet) native to central and southern Japan.

The berries look good enough to eat, but I wouldn’t dare! Saying that, the fruits have been used in traditional medicinal practices and supplements in Korea and Japan.

I read with interest, that because of its extensive root system (grows prolifically when young), it can become evasive and grow and spread in numbers, competing with / eliminating other native shrubs and plants.

First games of #afl #auskick #footy this morning, a practice match - and the boys are doing oh so well and smiles on dials - both teams.

That’s what it’s all about!!

Beautiful day, around 20 degrees C.

Also a nice row of #gumtrees, aligning the tennis courts, enclosed driving range and softball pitch.

t-shirt weather. 👕

Seriously cannot sleep, tonight.

Trying to force slumber rarely works.

Instead I’ll settle for staring at the night-light projected on my ceiling, perhaps? 🤷🏻‍♂️😅

It is mesmerising.

Doesn’t seem to impact the cats none… they’re sleeping blissfully, enjoying the comfort of my body heat on this coolish #Melbourne night. 🐾🐾

#autumn has swung around quick in the parts, despite the persistent warmer weather the past few days.

I reckon the flora is somewhat confused as some has been turning for the last couple of weeks thinking if it’s ‘time’. Or not!!

These beauties were spotted in #toorak #Australia and thought it post-worthy given some parts of both of these tree foliage are turning a lush #red - almost mottled in colour at this time.

I’ll revisit in a couple of weeks to see how they’re progressing. I’m thinking they’ll be a brilliant red, then perhaps bare in a month or two. Let’s see.

🙏❤️

Another finely manicured fence #hedge in #Toorak #Australia.

These guys know their style. I love rustic and unkept (natural) settings but enjoy formal as well.

This is a great example of what can be achieved over time to green the neighbourhood up in an elegant way.

Love it!

A cute piece of street art in #Toorak #Australia.

Some kind of #gumnut with our iconic gold $1 coin featured at the base.

Did you know next year will be the 40th year this coin replaced the one dollar note?

How time flies!

Various signal control boxes (traffic, pedestrian light) from #Caulfield, #Toorak and #Ormond #Australia snapped over the past week.

I’ll keep an eye out for more on my travels.

They’re eye catching and beats a boring ol grey box!

I’ve been observing this beautiful #hedge and greenery display of this #Toorak #Australia property for years now.

Not once have I ever seen an unruly hair out of place!

I love formal garden settings and this one is no exception.

I love #ivy on walls and fences.

This is a little taster as I have others I saw last weekend. Like, full coverage.

I’ll do some research on the mechanism by which they ‘root’ (stick) themselves to the surface, and report back!

This one’s on a residential wall in #Toorak
