#Rhododendronβs are simply gorgeous, right?
This #azalea is proudly blooming in #SurreyHills #Australia.
The burst of pink and most noticeably itβs patterning in each of the flowerβs topmost petal, is something else.
Itβs like a stencilled tattoo.
Nature at its best ππ

Another fine day to be out #walking. I was joined by one of my #nordicwalking friends as we navigated Walton Heath and the North Downs Way in the sunshine. Level terrain but a fair bit of mud. #northdownsway #surreyhills #garmin #strava

Magnolia kobus, known as mokryeon, kobus magnolia, or kobushi magnolia, is a species of #Magnolia native to Japan and Korea⦠and occasionally cultivated in temperate areas.
These bloom in the early spring, adorned with pleasantly fragrant white flowers.
In summer they grow lush green leaves, although in autumn, the leaves take on a yellow color and drop from the tree⦠but not before producing a clump (best description I have!!) of red seed pods.
I have never seen seeds like this (I think) on magnolias before!
How intriguing. Just had to share!

βNearly nine out of ten flowering plants depend on various animals for #pollination.
Among them, the western (or European) honey #bee (Apis mellifera) is the most common species of #honeybee and is spread worldwide through beekeepingβ¦β

Two #crapemyrtle no further than 15 metres apart growing in #surreyhills #Australia.
One white, the other violet.
What a treasure of a tree and flower.
Just on sunset.

#Amaryllisbelladonna is always a mood lifter.
Here for a short time, but they make up for its swift flowering period with a beautiful display of pinks⦠and a touch of yellow/orange and white.
Theyβre springing up everywhere around Melbs atm.
Awes π

#Azalea are absolutely gorgeous!
These two coloured ones are no exception, in #surreyhills #Australia.
Theyre flowering shrubs in the genus Rhododendron and #azaleas bloom in the spring (April and May in the temperate Northern Hemisphere, and October and November in the Southern Hemisphere).
Their flowers often last several weeks. In this case, much longer. Shade tolerant, they prefer living near or under trees, as these are. The street-lined tree canopies in this suburb are legendary.

Pelargonium - aka #geranium, is native to southern Africa in the western regions of the Cape Provinces.
The owners of the property where this one is growing were heading out to walk their puppies. They were telling me they planted these in nothing but scoria (volcanic rock) in the front of their fence adjoining the footpath and they took like nothing else this summer / autumn.
A friend of theirs took cuttings from this lot and the woman said her friendβs geraniums were going gang busters in the back yard not far away, twice the abundance of what we see here!
So hearty and visually appealing, especially in deep red!

A gorgeous #grevellea adorned with busy #bees in #surreyhills #Australia just now, around 5.30pmβ¦
Attempted to pic one of the dozens of flowers on this bush without a frantic but diligent pollinating bee or three, but could find not a one!
A very popular go to - obviously πππ€£π€£

A #Podranearicasoliana, aka the pink trumpet vine and a #purplelantana growing nicely in a #surreyhills front garden, #Australia.
Cooler weather and a bit of rain has rejuvenated some of the flora in Melbs lately.
Can almost hear the sighs of relief!

I discovered this wonderful shed while, walking around the Surrey hills, England. I love the crooked roof and how the wall looks like part of the shed.

A day off work this close to Christmas? Go shopping? I don't think so.
Not when there's an enormous burning fireball in the sky and crystals of water on the ground.
