Whats up, that is Cindy Strickland. I wished to share a number of scenes from an October 2017 journey I took to the realm round Sydney, Australia.
I loved strolling in and across the historic Vaucluse Home and its backyard.
That is the fountain backyard on the Vaucluse Home.
And right here is the enclosed cool and shaded space adjoining to the home dominated by the tree fern and tower.
The feel and patterns of the Australian straw tree fern (Cyathea cooperi) are outstanding.
The Alloxylon flammeum (its widespread names are purple silky oak or tree waratah) has magnificent purple flowers and is commonly cultivated as a small tree.
Outdoors a florist store within the metropolis there have been buckets crammed with bouquets of those flowers. I imagine a few of them are Protea, that are in the identical household because the Alloxylon.
On a go to to Leura, within the Blue Mountains west of Sydney, I encountered this submit field surrounded by attractive blooms.
On one of many harbor paths to the Opera Home, this mass of flowers with the stone wall made a stunning vignette.
Lastly, a colourful show of Australia seed packets
