The salsify flowers are pretty enough, but the real attraction are the seed heads or puff balls which come in about 10cm across. This really shows the family resemblance with their dandelion relatives.
Build me up Buttercup. I just couldn’t capture those lovely glossy petals.
Another burst of sunny spring weather brought the opportunity to escape into the fresh air during Lockdown 6.0. Strangely enough given free reign we ended up passing a playground.
After an afternoon exploring, and dodging showers, I got home to see this wonderful rainbow.
With the recent increase in allowed exercise time, I took the opportunity to explore a little further. I wanted to push along the Melbourne Water pipe track a little further towards Mt Evelyn. This is the view from above Pine Road looking back down on the Zina Grove Reserve and back towards home.
Another one from our small bulb patch in the front garden. The harlequin flowers share a bed with the lily.
A welcome respite from a run of rainy winter days in Melbourne. Blue sky and sunshine prompted a wander along the Brushy Creek Trail. A temporary escape to the country in the middle of suburbia and a slightly different view of Mt Dandenong.
