Popped into the garden at the Australian Botanic Gardens whilst in Canberra last week. It's a must see for fanciers. Banksia menziesii, B. spinulosa, B. epica and B. brownii

Closeup of Banksia Integrifolia, one of those beautiful slightly-spiky looking native plants that Australia has in abundance.

More garland lilies - the patches in the back paddock are flowering well after the wet end to 2022. We have the usual crimson flowered form but there's also a special patch of which is white with a pink blush. Calostemma purpureum

I'm office bound for a while, but big trees are always on the mind. Here is a big red tingle (Eucalyptus jacksonii) from earlier in the month.

Another native that grows very well on the NSW/VIC border is this dwarf Tea Tree (Leptospermum). It forms a small bush with burgundy foliage and has masses of vibrant red flowers.

For this week's thick trunk Tuesday we have this wild bark pattern on a karri (Euc diversicolor).

I don't think it was lightning based on the tree top, and probably not a vine.
Other thoughts??

Sunrise from the tingle forest after a bit of early morning tree physiology. South coast of Western Australia is just too photogenic.

Back in Western Australia and we were greeted by these Ptilotus sp. during some road side botanizing.
SW Australia...always stunning.

Tuesdays are for thick trunked trees. For me, it's all about these Red Tingles (Eucalyptus jacksonii) in a little pocket of wet eucalypt forest on the south coast of Western Australia.

It’s a wet and blustery day today so here is a collection of cheery pink native flowers from mine and Dad’s gardens. The Leptospermum ‘Purple Haze’ with the bee is my favourite. Others are Erimophila, Kurrajong and Kunzea.

An Australian native Waxlip Orchid (Glossodia major), taken at the Bush Heritage Tarcutta Reserve, near Holbrook NSW in October by Dad. It has a wonderful violet purple colour.

The Mountain Devil (Lambertia formosa) flowering in Morton National Park. The common name refers to the horned woody seed pods. Dad took this pic a year ago, it makes me think of camping and bushwalking with my parents as a kid.
