30 November 2023

It has been a busy month so just creating one post for all plants that caught my eye this November 😊

I can’t believe I haven’t posted a photo of bougainvillea yet! They have been around for a while now and I really enjoyed them. I think while waiting to capture a perfect one, I almost missed the season when they are in their best bloom.

Bougainvillea always reminds me of summer holidays in Southern Europe.

Interestingly, the brightly coloured flowers are actually modified leaves called bracts.

Amazing flowering eucalypt tree. Possibly Agrophora costata, or Smooth-barked apple, but not 100% sure. Super cute anyway.

Magnolia grandiflora, or Southern Magnolia.

Beautiful white Agapanthus. It is commonly known as Lily of the Nile or African lily in the UK and Star of Bethlehem in Australia as it blooms just before Christmas.

Illawarra flame tree – an Australian native!
