These #Camellia are a little smaller than the many larger flowering heads that are blooming at the moment throughout #melbourne.
But are no less impressive.
Vibrant colours and green foliage are most likely, in part, attributed to the rains of late and the glimpses of winter sunshine throughout the past fortnight.

The #bees were loving this #Camellia!
Such pretty flowers these - and the hair-like filaments and thick anthers are stunning on this tree.
Spotted and snapped in #ashburton #Australia in the mid-afternoon sunshine.

This caught my eye in suburban #ashburton #Australia on a temporary fence. A residential home is presently under renovation.
It reads (Charlie Brown exclaiming);
“Good grief! … this is a big fence”.
He ain’t wrong!
Love it!

Good morning!! (Arvo, evening or night! 😉)
#NarcissusJonquilla, commonly known as jonquil or rush daffodil, is a bulbous flowering plant and is a species of daffodil.
It is native to Spain and Portugal, but very much at home here in #Melbs.
Such a mood lifter, especially blooming during our winter months.

Sometimes known as the #TasmanianFuscia this #CorreaBackhouseana is a species of shrub that is endemic to coastal (and near-coastal areas) of southern Australia.
It has elliptical to egg-shaped or round leaves that are densely hairy on the lower surface, and cylindrical to funnel-shaped, cream-coloured to pale green or red and yellow flowers.
And it’s not surprising this beauty can be found on the great State of #Tasmania, too!
This, with a bursting heart, is posted here for everyone, although is especially dedicated to the ‘@Lioness of Heart’ herself, who lives on the heart-shaped isle of #Tassie.

Closeups of #bushdaisies 👇
#EuryopsPectinatus is often used as an urban garden plant, given their flowering periods are epic.
They grows best in full sun and well-drained deep soils. It’s not frost resistant unfortunately… and I read with interest every part of this plant is poisonous.
Also, this is not just one flower, but a composite of a number of tiny flowers which make up the yellow disc in the middle (ie their 'disc floret').
Love the bursts of yellow… makes me feel good to view such simple, yet complex beauty.

Didn’t think of posting here until after I got home.
So didn’t do a ‘clear shot’ without my sons and I.
So here goes, and you get my mug too!
This fun #butterflywings mural is on the side of a bakery brick wall in #CaulfieldNorth #melbourne #Australia.
Pint-sized kid wings to the right!

Up at silly o’clock this morning for kids football.
Walking to the ground, we see some kind of ash, oak or maple variant (I know they’re everywhere in this suburb with their reds, oranges, yellows and greens!).
This one’s branches are covered with a bright green #moss, which appears to be a permanent feature in this little Gully reserve, adjoining a waterway not far away.
Its #autumn leaves 🍁 🍂 are gorgeous.
All I can say, on this wet, soggy morning is… thank goodness the early sun is out!! 🌞

#WoollyGrevillea is just a stunning floral specimen, don’t you think?
#Grevillea comes in so many shapes, sizes and forms.
This spreading shrub with narrowly linear leaves and clusters of pink to red, and cream-coloured flowers, are simply a delight.
So healthy too.
This species is endemic to south-eastern Australia
💖🤍❤️

Another superb signal traffic control box decorated with an #Australian #parrot… this one’s in #CaulfieldNorth #Australia.
I believe it is an #AustralianKingParrot. Let me know if you think it’s something different.
They’re a colourful forest parrot and hang out throughout eastern Australian woodlands, forests, and gardens.
Feeds on fruiting trees and seeds and often comes to gardens and feeders… like many birds these days, they’ve become somewhat urbanised. Some are bred and kept as household pets.
Interesting fact: Life expectancy of the Australian king parrot in the wild is unknown, but some pets have been known to live up to 25 years.
It’s cute, hey?!

#Maples are turning red during this early #autumn period in #melbourne #Australia!
What deep and delicious colours we’re seeing around the burbs at present.
Seeing this small but impressive #mapletree on an #ashburton #Australia nature strip a couple of days ago, made my heart race.
With simplicity, comes undeniable beauty.

The ID app tells me this is yet another #Hibiscus in bloom!
#HibiscusMutabilis, also known as the Confederate rose, Dixie rosemallow, cotton rose or cotton rosemallow, is usually a plant grown for its showy flowers. And I can see why!!
Originally native to southern China, it is now found on all continents except Antarctica.
#Melburnians are being treated to a visual feast atm, as they grow sensationally here in suburban Victoria!
This one was photographed in #ashburton #Australia.

#Hibiscus are beautiful, right? This orange variation is no exception.
How about that long slender style. And the red-tipped stigma.
Just gorgeous.
This one was snapped in #ashburton #Australia.

As species of #Hibiscus… #malvaceae?
I think so.
It is a delight 🙏🤍💖

Hylotelephium spectabile is a flowering plant in the stonecrop family Crassulaceae. It is native to China and Korea.
Its common names include showy stonecrop, iceplant, and butterfly stonecrop. And they were growing in abundance (spotted Sunday) in #Ashburton #Australia.
So so healthy looking.
To the touch they are firm and best described as a little ‘rough’… and ‘robustly sturdy’ 😂. That’s my technical term.
A little dry, like that of the smaller flower, sea lavender.
They look to me like tight-knit broccoli heads, and similar in size!
So attractive. I’m glad I stopped for this one, despite my boy’s protests of ‘not another flower, daaaaad!!’

A #bougainvillea, still flowering strong.
The flower of the plant (usually a small white ‘bloom’) is is surrounded by a cluster of three or six bracts.
These bracts with the bright colours, come in many colours. This one, bright / vibrant red!!
🙏♥️
