After the last few hot Fridays my plan to find locations a little cooler, and, hopefully a few more plants in flower, paid off today with the visit to Mount Tomah. This Botanical Garden is home to a collection of plants from the cooler southern hemisphere, and, although it was a cooler day in Sydney, it was only 17C up here, still some 7 degrees cooler than down below.
The only disappointing aspect I could find with the garden is that not all the plants are labelled and so you will find below that there are a few photos with no description.

Beautiful blooms. Those Heathers and the Proteas caught my eye. They are truly lovely. Loved the Superb Blue Wren too. What a gorgeous little thing. Fabulous photos once again. You do find the most wonderful treasures.
ReplyDeleteFinding the 'treasures' is, mostly, the easy part, puting names to them is the hardest. Blue Wrens, lizards and the bugs are the bonuses. Thanks for the comment,it's nice to know that someone gets to enjoy them.
