#BanksiaIntegrifolia, aka the coast banksia, is a tree that grows along the east coast of Australia. One of the most widely distributed Banksia species.
This one however is stunted and ground dwelling for some unknown reason (to me). Maybe because of competition (plenty of gumtrees here), self-propagated or damage, not sure.
But the woody branches look healthy enough and Iโd suggest itโs longevity seems assured.
Only one bloom, but thatโs good enough for me!

#Gumtreeโs pre #sunset in #Centralvictoria #Australia a couple of weeks back.
The lowering sun hitting the trunks, branches and leaves illuminates the natural beauty of these iconic #Australian beauties.
I love the #Australian bush and all the colours and hues you observe at all times of the day.

Malva subovata, the #seamallow, is a species of flowering plant in the family Malvaceae, native to the shores of the western and central Mediterranean.
These flower profusely. I recall them years ago when I visited along the coastline of their natural habitat.
This beautiful, but sparse specimen in #caulfieldsouth #Australia, gives just enough to illustrate its flowering beauty.

A gorgeous creeper of some sort in a #StKilda alleywayโฆ easy to miss given itโs secluded locale.
I revisited this one a couple of weekends ago as couldnโt stop at the time.
These are the best shots that highlight the various autumn colours, with the brown wispy branches behind the leaves, layered over this wooden fence.
It was raining at the time and that highlighted the vibrant leaves, so too the #bluestones on the alleyway floor.
This was a treat, for mine.

This is a pic of a public garden aligning the #YarraRiver on a cool #autumn day.
Cloudy, overcast and around 15 degreeโs C (60F). Pretty cold, but Iโm welcoming the change of season with open arms given the obvious โvisualโ spoils on offer!
Thatโs #MountVictoria in the background.

We were up in the clouds; 10 degrees Celsius cooler at 4 deg C, than midway down the mountain.
No wonder #moss grows prolifically at the peak!
This will be covered in snow later this month Iโd suggest and kids will be tobogganing down the hill laughing and having a ball of a time.

How about that long slender style. And the red-tipped stigma.
Just gorgeous.
This one was snapped in #ashburton #Australia.

Growing to 3 metres (10 feet) tall, it is an evergreen shrub that is highly valued in horticulture. So too, by all visual hedonists!!
#gorgeous.

Theyโre such a fundamental (and staple) garden shrub that usually does well in any urban conditions.
We had heaps of these things in varying designs and colours in my childhood garden.
These are displayed along a footpath in #Brighton #Australia.

Iโve never been at the right time to see flowers on these things tbh so this was a little treat for me.
Delicate. Gorgeous.

I know my late mother loved them and we had them in abundance at her final farewell some 20 years ago and I associate them with mum and her love of life and home gardening.
She had a keen green thumb and introduced me to the world of #flora but itโs only been in recent years Iโve โtrulyโ appreciated these gifts of nature.
Thanks mum โฅ๏ธ

If so, these heads will bloom further to display a furry/feathery white appearance in weeks to come.
Cannot wait!
This is in #camberwell #Australia.

Theyโre often grown in gardens for the benefit of you and I; visual hedonists!!
I love these. So pretty.

Also known as the golden poppy, California sunlight or cup of gold.
It is native to the United States and Mexico. Itโs grown as an ornamental plant flowering in summer (although I read with interest, usually spring in southern Australia, such as in #Victoria), with cup-shaped flowers in brilliant shades of red, orange and yellow (occasionally pink and white).
It is also used as food or a garnish.
Fun Fact; It became the official state flower of California in 1903.

The gorgeous deep purple and firm, well hydrated petals are testament to the heartiness of this plant, so too itโs gardener-carer.
Itโs late in the season for roses to be displaying with so much form and health.
I really do love this one.
(Itโs in my singing teacherโs garden, sheโs a gorgeous woman).

The moderate weather of late has helped these lovely roses throughout Melbs hang on and see their days out in splendour, for usโฆ who appreciate them.

These are two trees; one in #GlenIris, the other in #BentleighEast #Australia.
These usually have an abundant canopy.
Young foliage starts off a bright yellow colour and ripens to lime green. The two tone looks terrific in the morning sun!
