Flowers in a friend’s garden part 2
Flowers in a friend's garden
Yesterday I shared with you some photos of beautiful Australian plants. These photos were taken in a friend’s garden in the Adelaide Hills. Like us, our friends enjoy looking at and growing plants found here in Australia. From this small selection you can see that our plants have very attractive flowers.
To view enlarged images of each photo, click on the photo. I’ll share more photos in a few days.

Last year we went to visit friends of ours in the Adelaide Hills. Like us, they are keen growers of Australian native plants. We had a lovely lunch with them before heading out into the garden to look at their collection of plants. While my wife collected cuttings (so she could propagate them) I was busy with my camera. I’ll show some of the photos taken over the next few days.

On my visit to the Wittunga Botanic Gardens late last year I enjoyed strolling around the various paths taking photos of the garden beds, the plants that were flowering and looking for birds to photograph. Sadly I didn’t see many birds; this is usually a good birding spot.
Never mind. I really enjoyed the wonderful spring day with a gentle breeze. Look back over recent days where I shared more photos, and stay tuned for more in the coming days.

Late last year I had an appointment in Blackwood, a suburb in the Adelaide Hills. After my appointment I had a picnic lunch in the beautiful Wittunga Botanic Gardens just a few minutes’ drive from where I had my appointment.
After my lunch I went on a stroll through the gardens with my camera. Many plants were in flower and I was able to get some beautiful shots. I’ll share these in the coming days.

Last spring we visited the Adelaide Botanic Gardens. This was after attending a food fair in a suburb a few minutes to the east. After our pleasant stroll through the gardens we stopped for a cuppa and picnic in Botanic Park. This open public area is between the gardens and the Adelaide Zoo.
Botanic Park is popular with families having picnics, for playing simple games with children and generally having a relaxing time. Throughout the year some major festivals utilise the area for displays, musical presentations and even drama. Today I share some lovely photos taken while we were have our picnic.
