Glen Eira council to improve the connection between the Queens Ave trail and the Djerring trail.

The slip lane (between the two As in diagram) looks pretty sketchy--- Bayside has just got rid of a similar slip lane at the intersection of New St and Bent Ave which was the site of many crashes. Drivers hoping to make the turn in a gap in traffic fail to see people on bikes coming through the intersection-- very dangerous if they have not stopped.

Don’t think I’ve ever noticed these beauties flower before.

It’s known as #AeoniumArboreum, aka the tree aeonium, tree houseleek, or Irish rose.

These plants are normally not so impressive in garden settings, imo, but seeing these bright yellow conical blooms has raised my estimation of these beauties… no end!

I read with note, that these are an invasive weed in places outside its natural distribution. And from my observations over the years, they’re hearty (relatively drought resistant) and their longevity is epic.

If this were digital art, it would be titled “Don’t feed the birds!!” 🚯

Or perhaps, “Feeding Frenzy” 🤔😋
