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!!

#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!

#Roses have come out to play, here in #Melb.
They’re full, radiant and lush. Bursting with colour and that fresh distinct #rose aroma.
They’re exquisite! 🌹

#Mckinnon, #Australia is home to this beautiful #WisteriainSensis, commonly known as the Chinese wisteria.
It drapes beautifully over a rear fence, backing onto a public reserve.
Gorgeous, huh?!

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 😳🙌

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 🙏💜💜

#AcaciaSuaveolens (sweet #wattle) is a shrub species endemic to Australia.
Found particularly, the south eastern parts.
I love these pale yellow blooms.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!!

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).

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.

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!

#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.

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!

#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!

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!!)

#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!

#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!

A domestic #olivegrove consisting of a few hundred trees in #Centralvictoria #Australia… just after #dusk.
These will be ready to pick soon.
The trees will be subject to a machine that will ‘shake’ each of them one by one carefully (and with love!), so that the olives drop on a mat and scooped up into a hopper.
This machine is called a ‘shaker’, funny enough!
We’ve had many a year prior, with dozens of peeps from near and far coming to pick for a few hours over a weekend - and rewarded with a hearty spread, vino and cheer.
Loads of strangers turn up to participate.
Olives go off to a small processing plant nearby and come back as oil. Loads of rain last year which means a bumper crop this year.
This lot will yield between 1000 - 2000 litres this year I think…
Pretty cool!

#olives (Olea europaea) are natives of the #mediterranean parts of #asia and #africa and have been in cultivation for thousands of years.
There is archeological evidence that indicate olives were grown in #crete as early as 3500 BC and olives are some of the oldest living trees in #europe with a few believed to be well over 1,000 years old.
These 500 or so #olivetrees on the farm produce well over 1000 litres of oil, after being picked and pressed nearby.
It’s a young #olivegrove; about 25 years old but has produced a bumper crop during most of those years. Draught however, impacts yield from year to year.
Fruit will start to appear in the coming weeks and harvest will be late March, through to April. There’s usually a large window of opportunity to pick olives in #centralvictoria #Australia. D#And it’s all dependent on weather and the development of fully ripened #olives 🫒
Picking has always been a festive event with people from near and far coming to participate. Once all the hard work is done, food, drink and merriment normally follows!

This gorgeous #hydrangea called to me an hour ago to be photographed and shared with my #mastofriends!
Delicate colours; those pink and mauve pastels are divine… rather than the usual deep, striking colours you can get with these beauties.
She’s healthy and happy… gets the morning sunshine but afternoon shades, therefore the position is perfect for it to thrive. Well watered too I’d suggest!
The rustic #brickwall acts as a contrasting gem as well.
The setting for mine, is just perfect!
