A huge #Acacia aka #wattle pre sunrise this morning.
How glorious is that full bloom? A sea of yellow, wow!
Cold last night, car was iced, a low of 1c (34F) but these, like many here in Melbs are hardy and resilient to frost.

Can’t quite identify this #Acacia, known affectionately (tho not by allergy sufferers) as #wattle, here downunder.
My car was parked nearby this beauty and now sports a thin film of yellow pollen.
The bursts of bloom are lovely.

#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.

A little bit of #greece 🇬🇷 painted by #katerin (created 2023), on a novelty shop wall near a little sitting area.
A huge #Greek community in these parts of #Melbs.
It’s cute, reminds me of my time in #crete many moons ago!
And the catsss! 🐈🐈⬛
Bless!

#Camellia galore displaying just beautifully in and around #Melbs of late.
Their flowers are so large and generous in so many ways (colour, size, vibrancy and abundance)!

Cmorn @anne_twain and @LifeTimeCooking - purleassse correct me if it’s a Paeonia this time 🤭😂😂
Pics taken just now on this cool #Melbs arvo in ##oakleigh #Australia .
Surely it’s a #CamelliaSasanqua, with common name sasanqua #camellia; a species of Camellia native to China and Japan.
Whichever, it’s gorgeous and bountiful!

Pansy’s are lovely, aren’t they?
These violet ones are no exception!
Pictured in #Oakleigh following heavy rains.
How can such lovely and feminine looking products of nature exist?

This #BanksGrevillea in #Oakleigh #Australia took my breath away.
This was taken following a night of constant downpour and I reckon it did this beauty a world of good! Just look at the amazing colours and general health of these complex flowering structures.
Had a fair bit of #bee action as well.
Even posting this (even after the moments of photographing this beauty), uplifts the soul!
It’s the gift that keeps on giving.

Not sure what this is… but it’s turning in preparation for dropping, shortly.
I feature it mainly for the myriad of colours it’s displaying at present, given we’re a couple of weeks into #autumn-propper and the display along this entire street in #Oakleigh #Australia is something special.
There is easily a dozen of the same tree in various stages of transformation along this shopping strip.
PS - have to say I drove along a major road in #MalvernEast after taking these pics… and there was easily a kilometre of these trees spaced say 20-30 metres apart on both side of the street. Couldn’t stop as late for an appointment, but gosh. You can imagine the burst of colours for that rather marvellous drive-time.

#redfloweringgum are so vibrant when they’re in their prime. The past few weeks has seen many of these come alive, with special blooms of red (mainly) throughout the suburbs of #Melbs.
They bloom right up to May.
It has a restricted distribution in the wild (it’s native home is only the south-west of Western Australia) but it is one of the most commonly planted ornamental #eucalypts.
And bees go wild for these; they must have an abundance of nectar to extract.
Just beautiful.

#OenotheraLindheimeri, commonly known as Lindheimer's beeblossom, white gaura, pink gaura - I’ve seen it called fireweed, too.
It appears to have a very small native footprint - it’s offical home is southern Louisiana and Texas.
I love the whispy features and it’s colours. A rarity.

Just look at these gorgeous specimens. I first spotted (and featured) these on a commercial property in #Oakleigh around four months ago.
And they’re still flowering.They’re growing in pots on a verandah aligning a footpath. So they’re accessible and photogenic!
#EpidendrumRadicans is a species of #orchid.
Common names include ground-rooting epidendrum, fire-star orchid, rainbow orchid, and reed-stem epidendrum.
Delicate. But hearty - and their flowering longevity is quite something else.

My trusty ID app tells me this gorgeous specimen is #RosaMajalis or #CinnamonRose.
It is native to forests of Europe and Siberia.
It can grow to 2 metres tall and yields edible hip fruits rich in vitamin C, which is used in medicine and to produce rose hip syrup.
Intriguing. Yet, beautiful.
Pics taken the other day.

These healthy #hydrangea are still displaying well past their seasonal flowering cycle, in a well shaded area in #Oakleigh #Australia.
They’re obviously tended to and watered (probably fed, too!) diligently by their human carers.
What a delightful and unexpected find!
Just lovely.

A few #sunflowers hiding in an #Oakleigh garden today.
They’re such a delight when you spot one - or a few displaying proudly.

This is an interesting find in #Oakleigh #Australia.
Pyracantha, the #Asianfirethorn as my ID App suggests, is a flowering plant in the family Rosaceae, native to western China.
It grows to 4 metres (13 ft) tall and is broad, an evergreen shrub with glossy, narrow leaves, and masses of white flowers (although this is not flowering, it already has, apparently).
Small berries appear usually in abundance, say 5-8 mm in diameter each following the flowering cycle.
This one was jam packed full of berries and they are red, glossy and firm to the touch. Quite a thick skin.
Reminds me of the mistletoe berry or tomato currents. But I’d suggest these ones aren’t for human consumption.
🙏🍒

Looks like a #cosmos to me, what do you reckon?
Cosmos are categorised within the daisy family and are native to the Americas. There popular as ornamental plants in temperate climate gardens.
I found these in my new friend, Claire’s garden. She is the Greek woman I befriending as I was salivating over her front garden in #Oakleigh #Australia the other day.
She’s a proud gardener, who has been tending to all her lovely plants and shrubs for over four decades at the property.
She has an awesome green thumb. Obviously!
