it is leaf green and hidden in the leaf joint. If you
look closely, you can see the forming fruit in the centre.
The ripe Persimmon is a glowing orange and
deliciously sweet to eat.
Grevillea robusta is a native Australian tree growing
to a great height and covered in spring with golden
flowers delighting a profusion of Honeyeaters.
A closer view worth enlarging in the glow of late
afternoon light.

Pupo we can all join in and enjoy this meme.
Hmmm... my favorite one is the glowing orange persimmon.. =)
ReplyDeleteOh, what beautiful plants and fruit! And what beautiful photos! The colors are breathtaking, particularly when you enlarge them! One of the many fun things about blogging is getting to not only meet like minded people from other countries, but to learn more about their environment, plants, trees! It just takes my breath away every day! Thanks, Arija! for all that you contribute!
ReplyDeleteWith the exception of the Persimmon, I've never heard of any of these trees.
ReplyDeleteI think ripe persimmons are one of the loveliest fruits just to look at. I don't think I've ever eaten one, but perhaps I'll give it a try, if I can stand to cut into it!
ReplyDeleteThe photographs are stunning, as always. You seem to capture the essence of a thing. The first photo was my favorite, though it's hard to pick. I like the idea of promise that it holds.
ReplyDeleteThose terracottas and oranges! Such perfectly delicious colour!!
ReplyDeleteFabulous pictures.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,Ruth
Lovely images. The Grevillea is beautiful. Would also love to see those honeyeaters.
ReplyDeleteGood morning Arija, the Grevillia robusta is is a wonderful golden sight in spring and provide a lot of nectar for the birds. We are harvesting Persimmon fruit now. They are a sweet, orange package of vitamins and minerals!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos.
Fantastic series, Arija.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week.
I agree with Sylvia, thank you Arija for showing you your interesting world!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend!
Beautiful pictures! The persimmon looked as though I could pluck it right off my screen!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! I like the last one best!
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots. I've never seen a persimmon flower before. Thanks for sharing that.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers and plants!
ReplyDeleteI've had persimmons. Delicious. Just did not know how they started life.
ReplyDeleteThe tree is amazing. Is it really growing wild? I love it.
An interesting post Arija , wonderful colors. And I absolutely love that persimmon..one of my favorite fruits..ymmm.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous trees. I often think its sad that their flowers are so fleeting

I love the fruit! I just discovered we had a tree last year, so I will have to look for the flower now that I know what it looks like! Great post!
ReplyDeleteThat last shot is amazing! I love the color! And both flowers are new to me!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job on the photos.
ReplyDeleteThat grevillia is amazing - what a wonderful shot of color!

I've never seen a persimmon, what a lovely color it is!
ReplyDeleteInteresting colors there, especially of the fruit. I have yet to try persimmon if I come across soon. Do you know what it tastes like?
ReplyDeleteI agree that the last photo is my favourite!! Australia has as many different flowers and trees as it does animals, but we think of the animals first! I like the way all the colours in this post follow the same theme!
ReplyDeleteAnd Zach in the next post is a handsome fellow! At least you made his life better for a while, even if he is gone now.
I love the colors of the robusta, and how lush they look. The persimon is quite unique too.
ReplyDeleteThe flower IS hard to see. Luckily someone - probably a bee - found it to fertilize it!
ReplyDeleteLovely to see the persimmon small and ripe! Beautiful trees as well.
ReplyDeleteHummm! the second image looks like delicious to me!!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful set !
Have a nice week
Brilliant and exuberant in so many ways.
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful photos. I am glad I enlarged them to see the full effect. Thanks for sharing these beauties.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers. Those last ones a called Silverwood trees I guess.
ReplyDeleteI have never seem this plant, but I liked very much it's colour.
ReplyDeleteI love persimmon. Do you grow them in your backyard? I can pick them for you! And I love the bright colorful orange leaves.
ReplyDeleteHi Arija
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos!
Persimmon is my favorite fruit.
We have today here in Brazil some kinds of persimmon, all very sweet!
Thanks for posting this!
Luiz
These are all nice pictures. Great colors.
ReplyDeleteWonderful flower photos.
ReplyDeletePaz
Yum, persimmon.
ReplyDeleteThe orange flowers on that huge tree look like feathers.
Am watching a PBS special about endangered Australian frogs. The Caraba (maybe spelled wrong) is a vivid yellow and black and being breed in captivity. Another statistic from the drought.
Beautiful colours especially as we are the middle of a snow storm here!
ReplyDeleteWow!! The Persimmon is so beautiful and glowing. A very interesting fruit. MB
ReplyDeleteArija the Grivillia tree would be awesome to see up close! Certainly fiery blossoms!!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favourite fruits and I'm a big fan of Australian native plants. Great photos.
ReplyDeleteVery nice closeup of that fruit.
ReplyDeleteI love the persimmon fruit, but I've never seen them on branches :)
ReplyDeleteLovely captures :)
I see todays theme is the color orange, very lovely.
ReplyDeleteThe persimmon which seems good!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post! All these plants and fruit are new to me. Thanks for sharing. Your photos are fantastic as usual!
ReplyDeleteHi Arija, I also saw Grevillea robusta in the tablelands, but not so beautifully blooming as this one you shot. Thanks for your comment on my tulips. You always say such wonderful things. Thank you so much! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteYummmm! I so desperately want to pluck it and bite that fleshy fruit! So tempting, Arija!
ReplyDeleteLovely shot. It's my first time to see persimmon fruit, thank you for posting it and thanks for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteWhat fantastic colours. I love the contrast of the green persimmon flower and its fantastic orange fruit.
ReplyDeleteThat is one beautiful fruit tree. Definitley have to enlarge this for the full effect
ReplyDeleteYour persimmons are delightful and tasty looking. I love the grevillea, I have been looking of one that I could grow at the farm there is a tropical nursery but I am concerned that my microclimate is just a little colder than his.
ReplyDeleteArija: I do like the two trees you shared today.
ReplyDeleteYour shot on the orange persimmon is so beautiful, nice shots!
ReplyDeleteMarvelous photos! I love looking at them enbiggened to see the detail. Thanks for letting us know what each is ;--)
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
Beautiful photos. Really love the orange!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures! I especially like your last picture when it is enlarged.
ReplyDeleteHow I miss the persimmon trees at my aunt's farm. Ate many of those persimmons when I was young. Beautiful color!
