A greyish mauve full rose flower has started its decline into decomposition. Decadent decay

The #rose flowers at the botanic garden are hanging on into the winter and giving good colour and form like this decadent decay

A pale pink single camellia flower is catching the light, forming light and shade on the petals. At the centre is a circular protrusion of stamen with prominent golden anthers

Sydney’s Royal Botanic Garden #RBGSydney embraces love and inclusivity for #MardiGras. USA can’t even acknowledge reality at the birthplace of #lgbtqi #pride #altNPS #Stonewall. Heartbreaking.

A group of four people, two with mobile phone torches on, crowd around the inflorescence of Amorphophallus titanum. A tall yellowish spadix is wrapped by a spathe, green on the outside and dark chocolate brown on the inside and top as it opens. The flower is set in a display of green leafed plants. There is a heavy brown curtain behind, open enough to allow the staff to view the flower

After midnight and the queues are gone. The #RBGSydney pixies have come out to play. The stream has been such fun, watching so many people enjoying themselves even after a 3 hour wait. 🌱

Here's the #RBGSydney #Amorphophallus titanum stream. Still waiting... 🌱

Two flowering plants next to each other and towering over the camera. On the left is a frangipani/plumeria with red flowers. The other looks like Allamanda blanchetii with large deep pink/red rounded five petal flowers. All the flowers are contrasted with the green leaves of each plant.

Back in the botanic gardens looking for colour. Never disappoints. A #frangipani and #Allamanda blanchetii (correct me) standing together at the Northern Depot Gate
