HELP!!!

Anyone know what this is?

I wanted to say #GladiolusCommunis and exclaim ‘#HelloPossums!!’

But I had a sneaking suspicion it could be something totally different.

And so too does my ID app… in fact it suggests anything from #Lobelia, #Montbretia, #CannaLily - and yes of course… #Gladiolus!

Google image search wanted to tell me it’s a gladdy… but you know what.. I’m not so sure.

Whatever it is, ‘twas snapped on my sisters farm in #Centralvictoria a few weeks back… deep red and it is happy as Larry.

Oh what the heck, I’ll just say it;
#HelloPossums!!!!

🤣🤣🤣

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.

OMG!

It’s #camellia season!

#CamelliaSasanqua is a species of Camellia native to China and Japan.

This one is gorgeous and healthy. The leaves are characteristically shiny (some are waxy) and the deep pinks of the petals and yellows of the filament-anthers are something else.

#sensational!

#banksia marginata… also known as the #silverbanksia, is a woody shrub in the plant (a #Banksia) found throughout much of southeastern Australia.

The yellow inflorescences (flower spikes) bloom from late summer to early winter. The flower spikes fade to brown and then grey and develop woody follicles which drop seeds.

You can see this one, pictured in #Warburton #Australia - and the various inflorescence stages. Some are blooming beautifully, whilst others are almost at the seeding stage.

I was taken with this shrub… it was growing in a public reserve in the centre of town.

Just gorgeous!
