A trip to the Mornington Peninsula, Day One

The end of November and it's very late spring in Australia.  Lots of lovely colour in the plants and trees.  With Christmas looming, the red bottlebrush sports very festive red and green.  One of the things I enjoy most about being in Australia is the range of plants and flowers, so completely different to those we grow in the UK.

The bougainvillea is growing in my friend, Sally's garden, and we saw the bottlebrush and eucalyptus flowers on a walk we took on Thursday afternoon.

Early morning light

There have been some cracking early morning skies this week.  The sunrise has generated a strong rose gold light which has been picked up not only in the clouds but also through the silver-white grasses around the edge of the golf course. I always marvel at the clouds.  Constantly changing, formations that have never been seen before, never to be seen again.

In a vase on Monday - colour

The intense colours in my vase this week come from nasturtiums, sweetpeas and a single glorious zinnia! Their beauty and love of life speak for themselves and need no further words from me! Enjoy!

(Not) in a vase on Monday!

The challenge this week, set by Cathy at  https://ramblinginthegarden.wordpress.com to celebrate five years of In a Vase on Monday, was to offer (Not) in a vase on Monday!  So here is my interpretation of that idea with one of my Plant Belles, which I tend to use for things I find and enjoy.  I weave bits and pieces through the metal ribs and keep them until they fall apart, or something even better turns up!  Lichen covered twigs, branches of larch with tiny cones, seed heads, twisted heather stems, anything and everything that has form and beauty.
