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! 🌹

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 😳🙌

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.

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).

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!

Saw them the other day but couldn’t stop. Today they’re displaying beautifully in the morning sunshine.

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.

Stumbled on this truly awesome #Magnolia × soulangeana (Magnolia denudata × Magnolia liliiflora) this morning, also known as the saucer magnolia or sometimes the tulip tree.
It is a hybrid flowering plant in the genus Magnolia and family Magnoliaceae.
It is a deciduous tree with large, early-blooming flowers and I’ve seen many lately, in various shades of white, pink, and purple.
I read with note that it is one of the most commonly used magnolias in horticulture, being widely planted in the British Isles, especially in the south of England; and in the United States, especially the east and west coasts.
Elegance all the way!

Noticed most camellias in Melbs atm are bountiful and full flowered. They’ve come out in the ‘correct’ time. Most of trees are jam packed with colour!
And they’re healthy, with bright green foliage.
Although, this strange ol season and the sunshine of late (we’re 2/3 into winter), is bringing out many spring-time flora out to play, ahead of their usual time.

My ID app doesn’t lock this down to a specific species, but I suspect it’s a #daffodil from the genus Narcissus.
However, Google Lens does indeed confirm it is a daffodil! Otherwise known in some parts, as #jonquil.
Nevertheless, this footpath garden outside of a #Malvern home in #Australia brings to mind feminine beauty, when I see the elegance of these plants.
So happy and healthy too, I hope these remain in the ground for weeks to come (rather than a vase), for all to see… and marvel.

What a beauty. And such a unique petal structure!
These flowers (petals) are thick and fleshy to the touch.
This is a #MagnoliaDenudata, the lilytree or Yulan magnolia, native to central and eastern China.
A little bit of info about the #lilytree;
It has been cultivated in Chinese Buddhist temple gardens since 600 AD.
Its flowers were regarded as a symbol of purity in the Tang Dynasty and were planted in the grounds of the Emperor's palace.
It is the official city flower of Shanghai.

#WildIris, growing along a busy roadway here in #ormond #Australia snapped just now in the sunshine!!
As I was taking pictures, an older guy approached me and asks what it’s name is. So we looked it up on my trusty ID app and we chatted for 10 minutes about this group of beautiful plants. Bless!
It’s botanical name is #DietesGrandiflora and is a perennial plant of the family Iridaceae with long, rigid, sword-like green leaves.
This species is common in horticulture in its native South Africa, where it is often used in public gardens and along roadsides.
Grows well here and it’s gorgeous flowers are just breathtaking!

More busy #bees collecting nectar on these beautiful #Camellia and #scarletbottlebrush in #Melbourne #Australia.
Bees are so industrious and gentle creatures.
#bee facts;
There are over 1500 different species of native #Australian bees
Some bees are as tiny as 2mm with the largest being around 24mm.
It is thought that a honeybee produces just one half of a teaspoon of honey throughout its entire working life.
In just a single day a queen bee can lay 3000 eggs.
There are on average around 55,000 worker bees in a bee colony.
A honey bee’s wings flap 11,400 times a minute, which creates the bee buzz - as in, how is this even remotely possible!!! 🤔😮
A queen bee lives for up to two years.
A worker bee lives around 45 days during summer, and less in winter.
All worker bees are females, the only male bees are the drones.

#DimorphothecaPluvialis, common names white African daisy, Cape rain-daisy, Cape daisy or rain daisy, is a plant species native to South Africa and Namibia.
The camera depicted these beauties perfectly; they were just as vibrant and visually dynamic in appearance irl, as you’re seeing here.
The colours of the petals; amazing whites, violets and purple colours bleeding into each other and dark disk flowers (florets; those that make up the centre - pic 3), contrasted with a small ring of orange are a feast for the visual senses!

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.

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!

#daffodil in winter here in #melbourne are most definitely cheering up the landscape!
It’s botanic name is #NarcissusTazetta and many varieties and colours are popping up in many suburbs here atm.
Mostly observed are yellow, but these cream/yellow variety are growing with vigour in #ormond #Australia on a roadside verge.
They spout and grow from a bulb and hang about for anywhere between 6 weeks to 6 months, depending on conditions, location, soil etc I read with interest.
Interesting facts;
There are at least 25 different daffodil species and up to 13,000 hybrids.
They're the official 10th wedding anniversary flower.
Daffodils contain sap that's often poisonous to other plants.

#BanksiaEricifolia, the heath-leaved banksia, or lantern banksia, is a woody shrub native to Australia.
It grows in two separate regions of Central and Northern New South Wales east of the Great Dividing Range.
Well known for its orange or red inflorescences, which contrast with its green fine-leaved heath-like foliage, it is a medium to large shrub that can reach 6 m (20 ft) high and wide, though is usually half that size, like this one.
It normally ‘flowers’ in autumn but this is stretching on (does so in cooler areas) into mid winter, here in Melbs.

More bush / forrest pics from #Fernshaw, #YarraRangersNationalPark in #victoria #Australia.
The #Gumtree’s and #Ferns here, are epic… densely populated and happy and healthy.
The tall gums provide the perfect shade canopy for the ground dwelling ferns, which thrive all year round.
This day (pictured) ranged from 3 - 9 degrees Celsius (37 - 48 F), depending on the altitude.
Surprisingly, even during mid-winter, small bright green fern fronds (called ‘fiddleheads’) were in the early process of unrolling on a number of these plants.

I think this is a #manuka. Aka LeptospermumScoparium, (Māori pronunciation: maːnʉka), New Zealand teatree, broom tea-tree, or just tea tree.
It is native to New Zealand and south-east Australia.
Its nectar produces Mānuka honey.
Love it’s tiny flowers - this series of bushes measured around 4 x 2 metres and was waist height (around a metre).
Pic taken just on sunset.

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.

Wattles are out in force and blooming profusely - and right on cue, now in Melbourne.
This tree is quite large and the yellow blossoms, generous. The scent of this thing was pungent.
#Wattle is known for such an impressive attribute, as well as their bursts of yellow, of course.
They’re really something else!

#BanksiaPraemorsa, commonly known as the cut-leaf banksia, is a species of shrub or tree; it’s a #Banksia.
It occurs in a few isolated populations on the south coast of Western Australia.
Grows well here in #Melbs and they’re displaying in abundance in gardens throughout our grand city atm, during mid-winter!
The woody spiked head is a greeny -yellow colour, on this one anyways.
Many I’ve noticed present in various colours; some rustic brown, others a deep red too. Just beautiful.
The detail of the rough, woody florettes are astounding.

My ID app tells me this lovely plant is called a #BergeniaCrassifolia, a species of flowering plant of the genus Bergenia in the family Saxifragaceae.
A common name for the species include heart-leaved bergenia… or the heartleaf #bergenia.
Interesting naming fact; The species crassifolia means "thick-leaved", while the synonym Bergenia cordifolia means "cordate (heart-shaped) leaf".

#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.
I spotted this handsome tree driving through suburban #Oakleigh, in #Melbourne’s inner east recently.
It is adorned with a multitude of stunning flowers, as can be observed on pic 4.

#EucalyptusLeucoxylon, commonly known as #yellowgum, #bluegum or #whiteironbark, is a small to medium-sized tree that is endemic to south-eastern Australia.
It has smooth yellowish bark with some rough bark near the base, lance-shaped or curved leaves, flower buds in groups of three and cylindrical, barrel-shaped or shortened spherical fruit.
A widely cultivated species, it has white, red or pink flowers.

My ID app tells me this gorgeous tree is a #JapaneseApricot.
The flower is a beloved subject in the traditional painting and poetry of countries including China, Korea, Vietnam, and Japan… and is usually called ‘plum blossom’.
The fruit of the tree is used in juices, as a flavouring for alcohol, as a pickle, and in sauces. It is also used in traditional medicine.
Despite its practical uses, this tree is undeniably visually divine!

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.

Meet the gorgeous SalviaInvolucrata!
Also referred to as the roseleaf sage.
It is native to the Mexican states of Puebla, Tamaulipas, and Veracruz, growing in shady places such as the edge of forests.
It does pretty well here too, in #melbourne #Australia.
Its flower’s shape is so unique. And the colour is vibrant and oh so visually pleasing to the eye!

Forgive me if this is incorrect… my id app and Google both suggest this could be a #Bergenia of some variety.
Anyhow, it’s just beautiful with pink petals and lush green leaves.
Made my morning.
Snapped on the weekend in a public garden in #mountwaverley #Australia.

Oh my goodness!
What a talent is #artist and ‘magic creator’ Martha Silver Breninger, who is based in Emerald, #Australia and heads up Healing Spirit Creations!
I was fortunate enough to buy a small ‘cat in a tree, by moonlight’ piece recently for a good friend.
In doing so, I realised the scope of Martha’s spiritual offerings, go way beyond oil on canvas!!
Also, so helpful, accomodating and giving of nature is Martha. You can tell this too, by these magnificent creations.
I’ve only featured a few works and items below, but you can visit her FB page or store for more of an insight to this amazing peep’s talents!
Awesome works Martha! Such a talent.

This iconic #indigenous themed display in #kingsdomain #melbourne #australia is breathtaking, for mine.
The respect for aboriginal rights and indigenous equality is strong in these parts.
What better way to celebrate such vital aspects of modern Australia than to display such magnificent art within the heartland of the city’s botanic and recreation areas?
The eyes of these children are filled with hope, happiness and compassion.
I have a strong sense the voice of a nation is making lasting strides, for the better.
For ‘ALL’.

Meet #SalviLeucantha, the Mexican bush #sage!!
Is the vibrant purple bract flowering masses just beautiful?
It is a herbaceous (non-woody stemmed) plant that is native to subtropical and tropical conifer forests in central and eastern Mexico.
The flowers are usually white, emerging from coloured bracts. It is often grown in warmer locales for its prominent arching velvety blue or purple flowering displays.
Even though we’ve just hit winter here in Oz, this is blooming all the same. And is a welcomed burst of colour on a cool but sunny day (so far!!), today!

I just love this mural. I’ve posted some time ago, but can’t get enough of it
Found it again in my travels recently.
The #rosella is astonishingly good. So too the #wombat to the right of scene in the second pic.
Painted by HaydenDewar.com in 2019, this scene complements another painted on brick, just off Acland Street in StKilda. It has the same humanoid figures and #Australiana themes.
I’ll visit that and feature it here, sometime in the not too distant future.
This mural (pictured in this post) however, is located in #Bentleigh #Australia.
Gorgeous, and intriguing huh?

Meet a scary looking critter, the #orbspider, but she’s pretty harmless all the same.
This is a female. They’re the big ones! Males are way-smaller in size.
I saw a heap of these (nearly walked into this one’s web) a week ago, along the #LoddonRiver in #Bendigo #australia.
Australian golden orb weaver:
Found in Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Australia, northern New Zealand, and New Caledonia.
The female typically grows to around 40mm (1.5 inch), whereas males only reach around 7-10mm (quarter to a third of an inch) in length.
It’s web is normally over 1 metre in diameter. Once built, it never leaves its web.
They’re harmless and not poisonous to humans.
Its main predators are birds and parasitic wasps.
Breeds throughout late summer and spring, and produces an average of 380 eggs.
The tiny males tie down the much larger females before mating, weaving silk threads over their abdomens.
Sexual cannibalism is rare with this species, however up to 50% of males are cannibalised throughout the natural course of life, as ‘prey’.
They’re an edible spider and are considered a delicacy in New Guinea. They’re plucked by the legs from their webs and lightly roasted over an open fire. Ummm, no thanks 😳

Was directed to this work-in-progress by a fellow #VisualHedonist around the corner, as we were both taking pictures of a recent mural in #Mckinnon #Australia, lunchtime today.
And OMG, glad I went to have a sticky-beak!!
Such #feminine elegance forming here. Accompanied by leaves, perhaps some roses and plenty of #fem #love!!
I’d suggest this gorgeous piece is about halfway complete and the detail (face, neck, arms, fingers, surrounding scene etc) will take the longest to complete; will be painstaking. Just guessing.
I can see this coming along beautifully, with shading and more depth to come. This will look absolutely breathtaking once complete.
Justine, the creator of this emerging masterpiece took a little time out to chat to passers by and me. This accomplished artist is a marvel to speak to and you can see why she’s an angel who paints from the heart. Just wow and… gosh!

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.

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.

Honestly, #bougainvillea is the gift that keeps on giving!
It’s still flowering throughout Melbs and it seems it has plenty of bloom-time remaining.
I’ve seen pinks, purples and reds of late.
This one I wanted to show some close ups of, to illustrate the beauty that is… I present the one and only, Bougainvillea….
