#NarcissusTazetta, #daffodil or #paperwhite are blooming profusely here in #Gardenvale #Australia. So apt is this suburb name, too!

This #Melbs morning is cold but the sun is out, an awesome winters day ahead without many clouds, nil rain (thus far!) and blue skies!

Perfect conditions of late, for early spring blooms, such as these and much much more!

#PrunusPersica is flowering everywhere here in #Melbs and theyโ€™re so uplifting.

So elegant in their appearance and structure, these flowers make my heart melt.

Such a welcome to the colour pallet during #winter time, and these trees will fruit in good time to produce #peach.

Good morning!! (Arvo, evening or night! ๐Ÿ˜‰)

#NarcissusJonquilla, commonly known as jonquil or rush daffodil, is a bulbous flowering plant and is a species of daffodil.

It is native to Spain and Portugal, but very much at home here in #Melbs.

Such a mood lifter, especially blooming during our winter months.

#BanksiaPraemorsa, commonly known as the cut-leaf banksia, is a species of shrub or tree; itโ€™s a #Banksia.

It occurs in a few isolated populations on the south coast of Western Australia.

Grows well here in #Melbs and theyโ€™re displaying in abundance in gardens throughout our grand city atm, during mid-winter!

The woody spiked head is a greeny -yellow colour, on this one anyways.

Many Iโ€™ve noticed present in various colours; some rustic brown, others a deep red too. Just beautiful.

The detail of the rough, woody florettes are astounding.

#ZantedeschiaAethiopica, commonly known as calla lily and arum lily, is a species of flowering plant in the family Araceae, native to Southern Africa.

Theyโ€™re popping up everywhere here in #Melbs and theyโ€™re looking healthy.

Love their robust petal structure and those yellow stigma are something else.

Very pretty indeed.

Missed tonightโ€™s #MelbourneSunset propper but by all accounts, it was some sight to behold.

Especially for mid-winter.

However, @Witchy_Minx caught the post #sunset within minutes of the sun going down (looking over #AlbertParkLake #SouthMelbourne).

Whilst I managed to snap the western skies around 30 mins following sunset. From the inner eastern suburbs of #Melbs.

A fair team effort i think!

A huge #Greek community in these parts of #Melbs.

Itโ€™s cute, reminds me of my time in #crete many moons ago!

And the catsss! ๐Ÿˆ๐Ÿˆโ€โฌ›

#roses for your viewing pleasureโ€ฆ theyโ€™re still displaying proudly in #Murrumbeena #Australia.

Still fresh and healthy, even in the cooler period of mid #winter, here in #Melbs!

#Camellia galore displaying just beautifully in and around #Melbs of late.

Their flowers are so large and generous in so many ways (colour, size, vibrancy and abundance)!
