  1. I cycled the Yarra Valley trail today, only 8-9km each way from Lilydale but very scenic on a bright, still Autumn day. I'm really looking forward to it extending to Yarra Glen.

    Btw I think the Highland bull has some cat in his DNA, he stared at me when I stopped but then refused to look at me when I tried to take a pic

  2. Here's all the dried, retted #yucca bundled up on the left. On the right is the finished product from my last batch. Beautiful, strong, cream coloured fibres.

    To get there now just requires a lot of manual working of the bundle, followed by lots of and lots brushing.

    This isn't particularly hard, but it is time consuming, so it's best done with company, and definitely done outside (it produces lots of chaff).

    If you've got a crafts fair, ren faire, or other outdoors event in #Narrm #Melbourne that's broadly aligned with my values and would benefit from a fibre processing demonstration, hit me up.

    Otherwise I'll likely be cleaning and dressing these fibres the next time I'm camping or at a picnic with friends. ❤️

  6. 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!!

  7. #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!

  8. 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 😳🙌

  9. 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 🙏💜💜

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. These #ducks congregating in a circular formation caught my eye earlier…

    Were they playing "Ring a Ring o' Rosie?” 🤔

    Wanted to get closer shots, but as ducks go, they were somewhat shy and evaded me at any chance!

    They probably wondered why I was taking photos of them.

    Perhaps they thought I was quackers?

  13. 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!

  14. Oh my goodness!

    It’s hard to believe this is the pre #sunset skyline in #melbourne #Australia, photographed a moment ago.

    A typically cool morning, around 10c (50F), and will remain around that temp, albeit a little cloudy throughout the day.

    After viewing these stunning pics, I can live with that!

    Thanks to @Witchy_Minx for pics! Great snapping you!!

  15. 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.

  16. 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!!

  17. 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).

  18. 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.

  19. 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!

  20. #Magnolia × soulangeana (Magnolia denudata × Magnolia liliiflora), the saucer magnolia or sometimes the tulip tree, is displaying majestically here in south east Melbourne!

    This one has beautiful blooming flowers in various shades of white, pink, and purple.

  21. 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!

  22. #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!

  23. 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!!)

  24. #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!

  25. I’d suggest this #Australian #magpie is a teenager in vintage… saw it foraging in a bark-covered garden bed, as we pulled up.

    Threw it some of my coffee scroll… loved that!

    Then some avo 🥑, my youngest pulled out of his sushi roll earlier… and it absolutely devoured that!

    Lucky for them.

    Lucky for me, getting these snaps!

  26. #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!

  27. #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!

  28. #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.

  29. #VeronicaSalicifolia, aka the #koromiko, is found throughout the South Island of New Zealand and in Chile.

    It is a large, evergreen shrub, reaching 2 m in height, with light-green, spear-shaped leaves that are up to 12 cm long, and pale lilac flowers. I’ve noticed some come in white inflorescence as well.

    I loved discovering these.

  30. The genus #Acacia belongs to the family Mimosaceae. There are some 1350 species of Acacia found throughout the world and close to 1000 of these are found in Australia.

    Commonly known as #Wattle, Acacia is the largest genus of vascular plants in Australia.

    Australia's national floral emblem is Acacia pycnantha, the Golden Wattle.

    For those into botanic classifications, this one (pictured) is a #AcaciaPodalyriifolia

  31. My trusty ID app tells me this is a #MagnoliaStellata, sometimes known as the star #magnolia. Pics taken last week.

    The overall tree itself looked tired with leaves that mimic drought stricken conditions. However, I’m learning this season, many appear this way. And I believe it’s sometimes their inherent appearance (some species) during their late blooming phase, I think. Happy to be corrected, as this is based on observation only.

    Nevertheless, these flowers present bright as a button and quite exquisite, for mine!

    #Magnolia is a large genus of about 210 to 340 flowering plant species in the subfamily Magnolioideae of the family Magnoliaceae. It is named after the French botanist Pierre Magnol.

  32. #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!

  33. #PrunusPersica is flowering everywhere here in #Melbs and they’re so uplifting.

    So elegant in their appearance and structure, these flowers make my heart melt.

    Such a welcome to the colour pallet during #winter time, and these trees will fruit in good time to produce #peach.

  34. You’re looking at a hybrid Clivia x cyrtanthiflora.

    This evergreen perennial is the result of crossing 2 species of #Clivia.

    It has strap-like foliage to about 2 feet tall with clusters of orange flowers that dangle down on stalks that rise just above foliage.

    I read with interest that flowering can occur nearly in any month of the year.

    Gorgeous!

  35. What a delightful #azalea!

    I love it’s two toned colours of white and pink.

    #Azaleas normally bloom in the spring (October and November in the Southern Hemisphere) and their flowers often lasting several weeks. I have a seen a few come out, way earlier this year.

    Blooming time is April and May in the Northern Hemisphere.

    They’re shade tolerant and prefer living near or under trees. They are part of the family Ericaceae.

    Delicate, yet quite a robust, sturdy flower.

  36. #PleromaUrvilleanum, also known as Tibouchina urvilleana, is a species of flowering plant native to Brazil.

    It’s vibrant (and deep) purple petal shading is quite stunning in person and I am glad the camera reflected this.

  37. It’s #olive season here in southern Australia!

    This lone olive tree is well underway with fruit, in #McKinnon #Australia.

    Love them or not, these beauties are so versatile as a health tonic, be that simply to eat, cook with or apply to your body.

  38. Random, I know. But from a visual hedonists perspective, this shining red #skulls intrigues me!

    Made from some kind of resin or formed plastic, covered in metallic gloss vibrant red, I thought it was post-worthy!

    This is displayed in my piercer’s shop front. Shout out to #Maddie the superstar who never causes pain or grief!!

  39. The #peach (Prunus persica) is a deciduous tree first domesticated and cultivated in Eastern China.

    It bears edible juicy fruits.

    Australian peaches normally grow between October and April.

    The flowers growing on these, ahead of fruiting, are divine. So rich in colour and detail.

    Was impossible not to double back and marvel for a good 10 minutes, in this morning’s sunshine.

  40. I was in the area this morning and it’s such a beautiful sunny morning, so thought I’d drop by again to see #DanielleWeber’s gorgeous mural.

    The sunlight brings out this little girl’s eyes terrifically (a depiction of a younger Danielle), so too the accompanying colours of this magnificent public artwork.

  41. Caught a #bee in busy search for nectar on these two lovely #Camellia in #glenIris #Australia recently.

    The blooms on these mid-sized trees are bountiful and healthy as anything.

    The red petals (pic 1) are spectacular, so too the filaments and anthers of both coloured flowers.

    Truly beautiful!
