Colourful Purple Blue Tibouchina

I saw these purple-blue Tibouchinas when I was out walking on the weekend.  In real life it was more purplish, but it has come up more blue in the photo.  Tibouchinas in flower are a reminder that it is Autumn in Sydney.

Colourful Purple Tibouchina


 Glorious purple Tibouchina flower, the colour set off by the deep green foliage.  Nice texture on these leaves, too.

White Sasanqua


It's March! To me, that means it's Sasanqua time.  These delicate camellias mark the beginning of Autumn in Sydney. Sasanquas are popular hedge shrubs with their deep green glossy foliage and abundant Autumn flowering.  This one was peeking over our back fence from our neigbours' house.

Purple Rose - Happy International Womens Day

Happy International Women’s Day (IWD). This years theme for IWD is to choose to challenge and call out gender bias and inequality. We can all choose to seek out and celebrate women’s achievements. Collectively we can create an inclusive world. 

And it's roses all this week on Flower of the Day.
