FLORAL FRIDAY, TODAY'S FLOWERS & Nature Notes - Bottle Brush

made me a present as solace for loosing a tooth
of this cascade of Callistemons
overhanging the steps as I left to rescue 
my waiting dog in the car


walking under this gleaming red canopy

TODAY'S FLOWERS ~ Wittunga Botanical Gardens


Adelaide has three Botanical Gardens, the oldest in the CBD
of Adelaide, the mountain gardens at Mt.Lofty and the third
within the southern suburbs is Wittunga.


As you enter the gardens and nose into your parking spot,
you are greeted with this view of a magnificent pink
Callistemon in full bloom.


At present the gardens are filled with colour whichever way
you look.





There are many shady paths to wander and enjoy and green
lawns to picnic on, ducks to feed on the pond or grazing on
the lawns. A very people friendly place with all paths
negotiable by wheel chairs.

My camera and I spent a happy hour there last week.



All photos are best enlarged.

Thanks to all the happy flower people at TODAY'S FLOWERS
who host this meme we can smell the roses all around the world.
