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!!

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.

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!

#EchiumCandicans, the 'Pride of Madeira', is a species of flowering plant in the family Boraginaceae, native to the island of Madeira (in Portugal).
It grows normally as a 1 to 2 meter high shrub, usually with a candelabra-like growth. The flowering inflorescent cluster on this one is say, around 25cm long.

#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!

#Bronte feathering her new nest, as only she can do!
She now has two official sleeping locations but just does her thing and sleeps wherever she wants, of course!
She’s a cat… it’s her prerogative, hey?!
BTW, dont you just love the way cats poke, prod and ‘knead’ their bedding before they settle for a snooze?!!

A little bit of #Australiana - an #Australian #bush scene on a brick wall facing a busy highway in suburban #brightonEast #Australia.
It’s a new addition to the area, which is a part of #Melbourne’s #urbancanvas project which has seen the creation and display of up to 30 new public pieces of art pop up, over the recent few months.
I’m slowly getting around to each one of them… one at a time.
This project is sponsored by #Resene, a local paint producer and supplier.
Artist; #Soleveins, aka #Veins (painted 2023).

These flowers, from a #CamelliaOleifera are in abundance here in #brightonEast #Australia.
Just look at the inflorescent blooms of this tree in the front yard of this place!!
The hair-like filaments and yellow anthers, for mine, are something else.

Surprisingly, we’re seeing Agapanthus (these I believe are #AgapanthusAfricanus) blooming in Melbs, here and there.
They’re normally out and about in abundance throughout mid Spring to early Summer, but these few captured yesterday in #brightonEast #Australia, appeared to be new blooms.
Strange timing, however gorgeous all the same.

You’re viewing #AloeArborescens, the krantz aloe or candelabra aloe, a species of flowering succulent perennial plant and a genus which shares with the well known and studied Aloe vera.
Aloe arborescens has succulent green leaves, large vibrantly-colored flowers, winter blooming, and attraction birds, bees, and butterflies.
#AloeVera is derived from the plant’s leaves and has many cosmetic and health benefits.
An amazing plant, and the flowers are just divine!

#BrightonEast #Melbourne #Australia is home to this grand #gumtree!
So richly #Australian and native to this continent.
First two pictures are of the same tree.
3rd and 4th are of other tree foliage (#eucalyptus leaves) that are typical of #gums, given the tall one tops out at around 60 foot high (estimated).
Taken yesterday evening, pre-sunset.

#Brunswick #Australia is home to this lovely creation, painted by #Juzpop and #saladbowlart.
The colours and shading bring out the beauty of the subject perfectly in this candid scene.
And I adore the #flora and #butterflies, which are signature specialities that Juz portrays so well.
This is gorgeous 🙌💖

Gorgeous, vibrant public art adorn these housing building walls in #Southmelbourne #Australia.
I love the realism and striking colours of each work.
I especially like the kind features of the woman on the end of the building, who is surrounded with classic #flora… and whose features depict an old soul, with a distinct appearance of quiet wisdom.

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!

Here’s #Bronte zonked out on the bed.
With the sudden departure of her pal and sister #Missy a few weeks back, her life has changed considerably. She’s now the solo cat of the household.
Bought her a new blanky which she’s taking full advantage of, now the weather has turned cold. And she’s calling less for her sis. Loads of cuddles and ‘us’ time has helped her transition, I think.
Our pet’s become embedded as a part of the family-propper and it’s such a shame they only visit us for such a short time.
I’m sure all pet owners agree.
All the same, I’m sure Missy is flying high in her new existence.

#brightonEast #Australia is home to this gorgeous and healthy looking #azalea.
Simply cannot believe how many I’m seeing blossoming in the cooler, wet weather of late.
And that patterning, which is synonymous with these flowers, no matter their colour.
So beautiful. 💖

#Camellia’s are blooming everywhere in #melbourne!
This is a beauty, in #Gardenvale #Australia.
Did you know? 🤔
The camellia has a long history of cultivation in Japan for practical rather than decorative reasons.
The leaves are used to make tea while the seeds or nuts are used to make tea seed oil, which is used for lighting, lubrication, cooking and cosmetic purposes.
Tea oil has a higher calorific content than any other edible oil available naturally in Japan.

Such a healthy looking #TecomaCapensis, aka the Cape honeysuckle; its home is in Southern Africa.
I’ve seen these flowering at various times throughout this year already… but not like this. This one is oh-so healthy.
Just check out the shiny, modest-sized leaves… deep green in appearance.
This beautiful specimen is well hydrated, despite this flowering cycle ending shortly.

Throughout Melbs right now, #azelea’s are out in bloom and they’re everywhere!
They produce such gorgeous flowers… so many different varieties and colours. And their patterning is something else.
A truly special and visually pleasing plant.
Did you know? 🤔
Most azaleas are poisonous.
They contain #Grayanotoxins, which are a group of closely related neurotoxins.
Grayanotoxins are produced by #Rhododendron species and other plants in the family #Ericaceae.

Some sad news.
#Missy, our gorgeous Tonkinese passed early last week.
She had been struggling health-wise for the past six months, however her recent decline was rapid and is now racing around elsewhere I’m sure, in another world of wonderment and joy.
Thankful that she brought so much love and light to our lives and kept #Bronte-cat company.
Be well beautiful girl.
You’re not too far from here, only a dimension or two away.

I have shared this #bougainvillea before… and it is still flowering strong.
It grows beautifully in #brightonEast #Australia - I think it has been showing of its vibrant pink bracts for almost 4 months now.
Such a giving and generous specimens this one!

#PlumbagoEuropaea, aka the #commonleadwort, is a plant found in the Mediterranean Basin and Central Asia.
It’s also 💜-ing #melbourne at the moment!!
It’s everywhere and blooming with vigour.
This one is a wild-child… growing in a carpark and very happy indeed. It has spread to around 1.7 metres tall and about 5 metres wide.
Most of its blooms are full, the petals are shaped and defined with a single indentation along the length of each petal, from the ovary (centre), extending out the to the rounded petal edge.
The violet colour is consistent and gorgeous.
#Plumbago here has been a real pleasure this summer (and autumn!).

#LavandulaDentata, the fringed lavender or French #lavender, is a species of flowering plant in the family Lamiaceae, native to the Mediterranean, the Atlantic islands and the Arabian peninsula.
This lot (loads of it!!) is growing in the front garden of a commercial property in #Gardenvale #Australia.
I smelt the pungent aroma at least 6 foot away. Almost gave me a headache haha. It was super strong.
Lovely looking, hey??! 👀

Just look at - and admire - these gorgeous #Amaryllis blooming wonderfully here in #Gardenvale #Australia.
Looks as if these have been growing here for some time with their established bulbs that sprout and flower annually.
They are so pretty.

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.

The #Plumbago, also known as the #commonleadwort, is a plant in the genus Plumbago found in the Mediterranean and Central Asia.
This post is dedicated to @LifeTimeCooking who I know loves these things!
Plumbago I read with interest, is a rich source of #flavonoid. This means they contain powerful antioxidants with anti-inflammatory and immune system benefits.
So it seems these flowers are edible and somewhat healthy if used for decorative purposes on a plate!

#Missy is bunking down today inside.
It has just hit the forecast temp of 38c (100F) and it’s at least 10 degrees less Indoors. So that’s something!
Last time I saw #Bronte she was outside sprawled out in the heat, on the balcony.
I think I might just go and bring her in!

This fellow was roaming the footpath alone in #Gardenvale #Australia, most likely foraging for dropped food or crumbs. Outside of a 711.
It’s colourings are intriguing, hence the share.
It was a little curious of me, as you can see… maybe it thought I was a potential source of a snack!
Sorry bud, no food today 🙁

Revisited this beauty in #Gardenvale Village #Australia just now.
I wanted to showcase the two children that were otherwise obscure from yesterdays picture / post. You can see them bottom, left of shot.
I love the hand in hand care shown by the eldest here, not sure what the relationship is to the woman… but the sentiment of guidance and loving safety rings true for me in this depiction.

Well, to say I fell in love the moment I set my eyes on this booming, bright #Bougainvillea is an understatement!
It’s the most magnificent one I’ve seen all #summer… and just look at the saturated growth of flowers. And the shades of pinks and what appears red shades throughout this beauty.
Not sure I’ve ever seen one so magnificent!

#Lagerstroemia (also crepe myrtle, or crepeflower) is native to the Indian Subcontinent and also to Southeast Asia, China, Korea and Japan.
I believe my ID app has identified this correctly. I couldn’t get close to this one as it was set back in the front garden of its home in #Gardenvale #Australia.
But from afar it caught my eye and it certainly has the splendour fitting to share with the good folk of #mastodon!

This gorgeous #bougainvillea has been featured about 5 or 6 weeks ago and it’s as glorious today as it was back then.
It’s located in #Gardenvale #Australia.
It is a well watered and tended to plant, I suspect!
The pink / red (purple?) petals are vibrant and it’s white stigma makes this flower a delight.
Just beautiful!
