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".

I believe this is a #CapeRainDaisy, normally home to South Africa and Namibia.
This one however, was recently snapped in #mountwaverley #Australia.
These gorgeous, vibrant purples made my day!

Did you know… there are over 250 known species of the genus #Camellia?
The sheer quantity and visual variety of #flora 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 #winter 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!
#CamelliaSasanqua (pictured):
Is a species of Camellia native to China and Japan. It is usually found growing in higher altitudes (up to 900 metres / half mile).

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.

#NarcissusJonquilla, 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 #Melbs.
Whatever you’re up to, make it a goodun!

Aren’t #impatiens 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 #mountwaverley 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 #Rosaceae (#rose) family.
The fruit on this is the size of the smallest blueberry you sometimes get in a punnet. Cute-as!

Pink #roses, 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.

Just look at this gorgeous #BuckinghamiaCelsissima, commonly known as the ivory curl tree, ivory curl flower or spotted silky oak.
It is a species of tree in the family Proteaceae.
It’s usual home is in the tropical rainforests of northeastern Queensland, Australia.
I see they grow up to 30 metres ‘up yonder’(100 ft)… this one is a humble pint-sized beauty, being tended to by the mass of #bees here in #mountwaverley #Australia.

You’re feasting your eyes on a #Neriumoleander. Pretty in pink. And it’s quite large.
Light reds also feature atm in #melbourne Australia. This one is right at home in #MountWaverley #Australia.
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.

#kangaroopaw are in their element at the moment in the southern State of #victoria.
This was taken in #Mountwaverley #Australia.
I love how the two colours complement each other so well in this garden. So healthy. So happy.

More #Lantanas - these one’s botanic name is #Lantanacanescens 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.

These #Lantanas are bright and cheery!
Tiny and intricate structures. I love them.
These ones were spotted via car on a field trip and they were worth pulling over for!

What a beautiful garden bed of #Cannacultivars - and oh so vibrant and red!!
♥️♥️♥️
These are located in a public park in #MountWaverley #Australia with a load of pink and white roses - and others such as deep purple #agapanthus.
I communed with them for quite a while admiring their colour and tiny detail such as the yellow markings in the centre. Zoom in and take a look.
Just magic.

This beautiful #bottlebrush 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 #MountWaverley
There were a swarm of bees busily pollinating this awesome delight. One can be seen in the second photo.
Just beautiful huh?
