My ID app tells me this lovely plant is called a , 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 .

Interesting naming fact; The species crassifolia means "thick-leaved", while the synonym Bergenia cordifolia means "cordate (heart-shaped) leaf".

Did you know… there are over 250 known species of the genus ?

The sheer quantity and visual variety of throughout our world, is just astounding.

If one thing in life is true, you cannot get enough of a good thing, right?

Camellias are one of the most bountiful and generous flowering trees on the planet. And I’m grateful for that.

They make bearable when the floral landscape is normally in its most dormant state, as nature prepares a pallet of colour and fragrance for spring and beyond!

Is a species of Camellia native to China and Japan. It is usually found growing in higher altitudes (up to 900 metres / half mile).

Forgive me if this is incorrect… my id app and Google both suggest this could be a of some variety.

, commonly known as jonquil or rush daffodil, is a gorgeous flowering plant, a species of daffodil that is native to Spain and Portugal but has now become naturalised in many other regions.

They certainly add colour and vibrancy to any overcast day.

Saying that, the sun has been making an appearance for the past hour or so in .

Whatever you’re up to, make it a goodun!

Aren’t gorgeous?! This one is no exception.

The violet / purples, coupled with subtle whites in the centre and two streaks of purple wisps of colour, made my day.

Pictured yesterday in a public park. Simpley could not walk past without snapping… and sharing.

I’m not even going to try to identity this one, as the ID app provided around a dozen possibilities.

But the common theme is that it’s likely to be from the () family.

The fruit on this is the size of the smallest blueberry you sometimes get in a punnet. Cute-as!

Pink , like white ones are so fem, so appealing.

Roses are doing really well in Melbs - still!

And the recent sprinkling of rains and cooler weather has revitalised many I reckon.

You’re feasting your eyes on a . Pretty in pink. And it’s quite large.

Light reds also feature atm in Australia. This one is right at home in .

It is so widely cultivated that no precise region of origin has been identified, though it is usually associated with the Mediterranean.

Taken just before sunset. It’s a cheery thing.

More - these one’s botanic name is and I like them because they’re simple and the colour structure of whites, merging into the yellow centres.

Each head is in various stages of bloom.

They’re delicate and healthy looking. I’d suggest this shrub has been well watered. Most likely fed as well.

Tiny and intricate structures. I love them.

These ones were spotted via car on a field trip and they were worth pulling over for!

This beautiful is in its prime right now. Vibrant-as!

I have seen a few that are looking a little shabby a week or so after the height of their bloom. But this one is shining brightly, located on a major arterial in

There were a swarm of bees busily pollinating this awesome delight. One can be seen in the second photo.

Just beautiful huh?
