My ID app tells me this lovely plant is called a #BergeniaCrassifolia, a species of flowering plant of the genus Bergenia in the family Saxifragaceae.
A common name for the species include heart-leaved bergenia… or the heartleaf #bergenia.
Interesting naming fact; The species crassifolia means "thick-leaved", while the synonym Bergenia cordifolia means "cordate (heart-shaped) leaf".

I believe this is a #CapeRainDaisy, normally home to South Africa and Namibia.
This one however, was recently snapped in #mountwaverley #Australia.
These gorgeous, vibrant purples made my day!

Did you know… there are over 250 known species of the genus #Camellia?
The sheer quantity and visual variety of #flora throughout our world, is just astounding.
If one thing in life is true, you cannot get enough of a good thing, right?
Camellias are one of the most bountiful and generous flowering trees on the planet. And I’m grateful for that.
They make #winter bearable when the floral landscape is normally in its most dormant state, as nature prepares a pallet of colour and fragrance for spring and beyond!
#CamelliaSasanqua (pictured):
Is a species of Camellia native to China and Japan. It is usually found growing in higher altitudes (up to 900 metres / half mile).

Meet the gorgeous SalviaInvolucrata!
Also referred to as the roseleaf sage.
It is native to the Mexican states of Puebla, Tamaulipas, and Veracruz, growing in shady places such as the edge of forests.
It does pretty well here too, in #melbourne #Australia.
Its flower’s shape is so unique. And the colour is vibrant and oh so visually pleasing to the eye!

#AgapanthusAfricanus is also known as the African lily and the lily-of-the-Nile.
Their lovely flowers are making themselves known lately; these pics were taken in #mountwaverley #Australia.

This ornamental plant, the #Nandina, is native to eastern Asia from the Himalayas to Japan.
They’re out in numbers here in #melbourne and this one was pictured recently, in the early afternoon sun.
The vibrant red fruit are clumped, tightly packed and in abundance here.
The berries contain toxins, therefore they remain in tact and preserved until they dry and drop. Birds know all too well not to eat these things!

Forgive me if this is incorrect… my id app and Google both suggest this could be a #Bergenia of some variety.
Anyhow, it’s just beautiful with pink petals and lush green leaves.
Made my morning.
Snapped on the weekend in a public garden in #mountwaverley #Australia.

#NarcissusJonquilla, commonly known as jonquil or rush daffodil, is a gorgeous flowering plant, a species of daffodil that is native to Spain and Portugal but has now become naturalised in many other regions.
They certainly add colour and vibrancy to any overcast day.
Saying that, the sun has been making an appearance for the past hour or so in #Melbs.
Whatever you’re up to, make it a goodun!

Aren’t #impatiens gorgeous?! This one is no exception.
The violet / purples, coupled with subtle whites in the centre and two streaks of purple wisps of colour, made my day.
Pictured yesterday in a #mountwaverley public park. Simpley could not walk past without snapping… and sharing.

From the Family #Rosaceae is this vibrant fruiting tree. These are eveywhere and displaying red, in abundance throughout our city at the moment.
These are native to the Himalayas.
This one however, is growing in the front yard of an #ormond home, #melbourne, #Australia.
It’s been raining this morning so the fruit and green leaves are shining in the sun, that has just punched through the clouds.
The red fruits (called pomes) appear in autumn, and hang about well into winter if not eaten by the hungry birds.
Wonder what they taste like? 🤔
Tho I’m not that game 😅

I’m not even going to try to identity this one, as the ID app provided around a dozen possibilities.
But the common theme is that it’s likely to be from the #Rosaceae (#rose) family. (EDIT; appears plenty of advice that this is likely a #Hawthorn of some sort 🤔, perhaps. Thanks for the comments 👏👍).
The fruit on this is the size of the smallest blueberry you sometimes get in a punnet. Cute-as!
🙏♥️

Pink #roses, like white ones are so fem, so appealing.
Roses are doing really well in Melbs - still!
And the recent sprinkling of rains and cooler weather has revitalised many I reckon.

Just look at this gorgeous #BuckinghamiaCelsissima, commonly known as the ivory curl tree, ivory curl flower or spotted silky oak.
It is a species of tree in the family Proteaceae.
It’s usual home is in the tropical rainforests of northeastern Queensland, Australia.
I see they grow up to 30 metres ‘up yonder’(100 ft)… this one is a humble pint-sized beauty, being tended to by the mass of #bees here in #mountwaverley #Australia.

You’re feasting your eyes on a #Neriumoleander. Pretty in pink. And it’s quite large.
Light reds also feature atm in #melbourne Australia. This one is right at home in #MountWaverley #Australia.
It is so widely cultivated that no precise region of origin has been identified, though it is usually associated with the Mediterranean.
Taken just before sunset. It’s a cheery thing.

#kangaroopaw are in their element at the moment in the southern State of #victoria.

This beauties botanic name is #Schotiabrachypetala, the #weepingboerbean.
It’s from the legume ‘family’.
It’s native to #Africa, south of the #Zambezi River, where it occurs at middle altitudes.
This gorgeous thing’s is an ornamental tree (no surprise!) grown in warmer regions and is known for its nectar that drips from its flowers, which attracts a range of birds and insects.
This grows proudly in #Melbourne’s #botanicgardens.

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.

These #Lantanas are bright and cheery!
Tiny and intricate structures. I love them.
These ones were spotted via car on a field trip and they were worth pulling over for!

What a beautiful garden bed of #Cannacultivars - and oh so vibrant and red!!
♥️♥️♥️
These are located in a public park in #MountWaverley #Australia with a load of pink and white roses - and others such as deep purple #agapanthus.
I communed with them for quite a while admiring their colour and tiny detail such as the yellow markings in the centre. Zoom in and take a look.
Just magic.
