These are a little smaller than the many larger flowering heads that are blooming at the moment throughout .

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.

This caught my eye in suburban on a temporary fence. A residential home is presently under renovation.

It reads (Charlie Brown exclaiming);

“Good grief! … this is a big fence”.

He ain’t wrong!

Love it!

Good morning!! (Arvo, evening or night! 😉)

, 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 .

Such a mood lifter, especially blooming during our winter months.

Closeups of 👇

is often used as an urban garden plant, given their flowering periods are epic.

They grows best in full sun and well-drained deep soils. It’s not frost resistant unfortunately… and I read with interest every part of this plant is poisonous.

Also, this is not just one flower, but a composite of a number of tiny flowers which make up the yellow disc in the middle (ie their 'disc floret').

Love the bursts of yellow… makes me feel good to view such simple, yet complex beauty.

Up at silly o’clock this morning for kids football.

Walking to the ground, we see some kind of ash, oak or maple variant (I know they’re everywhere in this suburb with their reds, oranges, yellows and greens!).

This one’s branches are covered with a bright green , which appears to be a permanent feature in this little Gully reserve, adjoining a waterway not far away.

Its leaves 🍁 🍂 are gorgeous.

All I can say, on this wet, soggy morning is… thank goodness the early sun is out!! 🌞

are turning red during this early period in !

What deep and delicious colours we’re seeing around the burbs at present.

Seeing this small but impressive on an nature strip a couple of days ago, made my heart race.

With simplicity, comes undeniable beauty.

The ID app tells me this is yet another in bloom!

, 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.

are being treated to a visual feast atm, as they grow sensationally here in suburban Victoria!

This one was photographed in .

are beautiful, right? This orange variation is no exception.

How about that long slender style. And the red-tipped stigma.

Just gorgeous.

This one was snapped in .

Hylotelephium spectabile is a flowering plant in the stonecrop family Crassulaceae. It is native to China and Korea.

Its common names include showy stonecrop, iceplant, and butterfly stonecrop. And they were growing in abundance (spotted Sunday) in .

So so healthy looking.

To the touch they are firm and best described as a little ‘rough’… and ‘robustly sturdy’ 😂. That’s my technical term.

A little dry, like that of the smaller flower, sea lavender.

They look to me like tight-knit broccoli heads, and similar in size!

So attractive. I’m glad I stopped for this one, despite my boy’s protests of ‘not another flower, daaaaad!!’

A , still flowering strong.

The flower of the plant (usually a small white ‘bloom’) is is surrounded by a cluster of three or six bracts.

These bracts with the bright colours, come in many colours. This one, bright / vibrant red!!

🙏♥️
