I went with my boyfriend to Floriade recently on the way to visiting family. It was interesting to see what flowers were chosen as highlights and to appreciate the colours and smells of such great gardening. We even got to see Costa Georgiadis from Gardening Australia at a restaurant!
Floriade was a time to relax, go on some rides and dream.
I love to come across flowers on my walks. I will endeavour to post a few flowers over time here…
As you well know there are some exquisite plants to be viewed when walking through the suburban streets. However, here is a reminder of nature’s beauty when we aren’t able to go out and view it, due to our timetable or the weather. Here are a few images of nature to contemplate on:
Today I was inspired by an article I read in ABC News online about planting seedlings for mental health (albeit in Tasmania). So I dug up some seedling gum trees that were growing rampant in my driveway and potted them in individual pots. These may later be distributed to those I know of who have space in their garden and desire a shady gum tree. They’re probably Blue gum as there is a large parent Blue Gum tree nearby. Today just might inspire me to be a more environmentally aware person in general. PS. I realised not all trees are good to plant as some really tall Blue gums are termed in the country ‘widowers’ and have a history of being cut down as they tend to fall on people and injure them. These gums I was growing are such a type!
