(opal flower) is a species of flowering plant native to the Western Cape of South Africa.

Such a welcomed addition to the flowering landscape that is starting to appear here in Melbs, a little ahead of time, if I may say.

These are simply divine!

, 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.

@bike @PleaseCaption thanks for doing that. Appreciated.

When I , I endeavour to describe the scene in as much detail as possible. Especially to cater to those unsighted, who have never seen before.

I have been advised by sight restricted people in the past, a brief sentence does not add much value.

Hence spending time getting the odd Altext description precise as poss, rather than Altext every post with a one-liner, in a time-poor world (imposs to Altext every post). Ty.

, commonly known as the cut-leaf banksia, is a species of shrub or tree; it’s a .

It occurs in a few isolated populations on the south coast of Western Australia.

Grows well here in 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.

The (Anthochaera carunculata) is a bird native to southern Australia.

It is the second largest species of Australian .

This beauty was so trusting. It was intently focussed on this discarded sweet on the footpath, pecking away and checking on me periodically as I photographed from only a few feet away.

The sexes are similar in plumage. And I read with interest that juveniles have less prominent wattles (1 cm or 1/2 inch long fleshy growths) on either side of their neck and browner eyes.

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 .

Its flower’s shape is so unique. And the colour is vibrant and oh so visually pleasing to the eye!

Don’t think I’ve ever noticed these beauties flower before.

It’s known as , aka the tree aeonium, tree houseleek, or Irish rose.

These plants are normally not so impressive in garden settings, imo, but seeing these bright yellow conical blooms has raised my estimation of these beauties… no end!

I read with note, that these are an invasive weed in places outside its natural distribution. And from my observations over the years, they’re hearty (relatively drought resistant) and their longevity is epic.

, known as is a species of Ligustrum (privet) native to central and southern Japan.

The berries look good enough to eat, but I wouldn’t dare! Saying that, the fruits have been used in traditional medicinal practices and supplements in Korea and Japan.

I read with interest, that because of its extensive root system (grows prolifically when young), it can become evasive and grow and spread in numbers, competing with / eliminating other native shrubs and plants.

A bunch of ‘cockies’ were being harassed by a border collie dog in a nearby football oval and they were squarking, flying off and returning to taunt the young pup!

Just snapped this in on this dry and pleasant ’s morning.

It has a rough, woody bark; cream and green smooth, waxy leaves; (pink new growth in its flowering period) and white to maroon edible berries.

Beautiful!

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 is astonishingly good. So too the 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 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 .

Gorgeous, and intriguing huh?

, up in the hills is home to this bush setting mural.

It is displayed on the side of this brick wall of the local stock feed retailer.

It looks old though it conjures old time life here in Australia, on the land.

I really like it!

This mural is displayed in the of .

Spotted in an alleyway painted on the rear of an old industrial building, a woman, shoulders up, looks down over her shoulder, flanked by long, whispy bird feathers of some type around her figure.

The painting is around 60-70 foot (15-20 metres) tall in its entirety.

Long jet black hair, full lips and alluring eyes, this scene says so much. It could be described as sexually charged. Depending on your interpretation. Her look could almost be described too, as contemptuous or accusing. Again, depending on the observer.

The building is old and rustic, concrete cladded and the setting looks like a grungy back alley that was probably in its hay day in the early 20th century Melbourne. It stands at around 5-6 stories tall and is and is adorned on the periphery with air vents, plumbing pipes and guttering down pipes.
