Camellia in pale pink

This camellia is the palest shade of pink. The petals are delicate and smooth.

Bright Pink Camellia

Another deep pink beauty. The thing I like about these flowers is that each flower is quite different, almost as if they have their own personality.

Classic Camellia

 

Deep Pink Camellia

Just love this colour.!

Camellia - pretty in pink

Pretty in pink - I think the best thing about Winter in Sydney is the camellias that are flowering. And maybe hot chocolate too!

Camellias for the start of Winter

This week it’s a camellia every day to mark the start of Winter in Sydney.

Hot Pink Corymbia

 These Australian native Corymbia blossoms are outrageously beautiful!

Pale Pink Geranium

Geraniums are great plants - they flower most of the year in Sydney and are happy in a pot or a garden bed.

Gorgeous Gardenia Bud

Did you know that gardenias are members of the coffee plant family, Rubiaceae?  This is a gorgeous gardenia bud that I spotted in a local garden.  It’s less than a week away from the start of Winter in Sydney, and there are still gardenias flowering. 

Golden Gazania

A golden Gazania - or African Daisy.  Not surprisingly these flowers are in the daisy plant family - Asteraceae.
