Moomba fireworks glimpses through #FitzroyGardens foliage as I walked home.
Closeup of three pink begonias, one full frontal and in full bloom, one is at a three-quarter angle, also in full bloom, and the last one is white--still more of a bud than a flower. The petals transition from a light pink in the center to a deeper coral-pink around the outer edges. The background is solid dark green leaves.

My favourite native tree is flowering! Grevillea robusta, often called the silky oak, is native to the area around the Queensland/New South Wales border and coast. Individual trees are in the #CarltonGardens but whole avenues have been planted in the #FitzroyGardens.

#FitzroyGardens Clement Hodgkinson’ 1862 River God Fountain with Charles Summers’ landmark concrete sculpture, removed in 1962 and re-found and re-erected here in 1996.
a small white and black bird walks on grass while Red Rings of Danger surround it
This little bird swooped me two mornings in a row as I walked to work via the #FitzroyGardens - has never happened to me before!

#melbournelife signs of spring: flowers on the balcony zombie plant; daffodils in the #FitzroyGardens; flowering tree in the #TreasuryGardens.

Now it’s clear that these #AlbertSt #EastMelbourne developments are all about maximising floor space while not shadowing the #FitzroyGardens

Very Japanese controlling behaviour at a Japanese takeaway…
A woman is walking through a glasshouse filled with plants on the ground and hanging. Most are begonias in colors of red, pink, white.

Walking through the Conservatory at the Melbourne Fitzroy Gardens brings such joy.

So Melbourne. #savethetrees #FitzroyGardens
Walk from the city: the ‘goat trail’ shortcut made by countless pedestrians in the #FitzroyGardens seems to be actually acknowledged by the City of Melbourne, unusually.
Lovely to see this tree in the #FitzroyGardens has fully recovered after someone set fire to a mattress under it two years ago.
Tree & stars, #FitzroyGardens
A new piece of #nonitecture rises opposite the #FitzroyGardens, this one by Orchard Piper and ‘designed’ by Jolson (Stephen Jolson). Why do ultra-rich people apparently hate individual character?
Interesting. After ignoring the human-made track across this bit of lawn in the #FitzroyGardens for decades (or longer), the council has suddenly mown it - ??
#FitzroyGardens’ horse chestnuts in all their candle tree glory! 🕯️🌳
Some of the 5,000 bluebells in the #FitzroyGardens. Such a lovely route to walk to work! This is a #latergram so their brief window has passed…
