22.01.2022 - Lest we forget.... - Few flowers played such an important role in religion, mythology, politics, and medicine as the Poppy. Often found growing along roadside ditches and other humble places, these flowers have enchanted poets and helped doctors treat their patients for centuries. Besides the medicinal and edible qualities of the Poppy, the flower symbolizes some very deep emotions. -... Reference: https://www.flowermeaning.com/poppy-flower-meaning/ - Many of us will recognise a simple flower from our childhoods as offering us a seminal memory of the simple enjoyment of Mother Natures gifts. - May we seek to hold close to our hearts, the essence of the humble poppy as we walk lifes highways and byways... - Lest we forget... - #fbbgsa #red #poppy #friendsbrisbanebotanicgardensandsherwoodarboretum #brisbanebotanicgardensmtcoottha #anzacday #flowers #plants #trees #gardens #brisbanecitybotanicgardens #brisbanecitycouncil #carefornature # See more

12.01.2022 - There are a number of flowering trees in the Botanic Gardens, Mt Coot-tha, during the month of April and nine so stately and beautiful than Corymbia ptychocarpa. Its Family, Myrtaceae, with its common name, Swamp Bloodwood, is a tall and lean tree with a steely ness that impresses from leaf to bloom.... Whether pink or red, this bloom emerges with a visual punch that quite takes ones breath away! One can oft be stumbled across, with some surprise, beginning its flowering from April through June, while wandering along any neighborhood street in subtropical climes, such is the draw of its floral beauty. Stately specimens stretch skyward in our Brisbane Botanic Garden campus, Mt Coot-tha in the Australian species section, atop the hill, to be sure, where, in full bloom, the bees are assured to be buzzing! Originally found in gallery forests in Western Australia and the Northern Territory, this species is now commonly grown as a street tree. A crooked tree that tends to flop when young, it often has drooping branches. The lanceolate, leathery leaves are up to 30 cm long and 7 cm wide, the midrib is pale yellow in contrast to the green lamina and the lateral veins tend to be parallel to one another. The flowers are borne in large clusters on the outside of the tree. Colour forms range from very pale to dark pink, these are followed by large woody capsules to about 4 cm long. Flowering chiefly in summer and autumn, with some flowers also present in any month, this tree is both stately and beautiful, needing space to reach its fullest potential. - Head to our Link-in-Bio/Whats Flowering to discover the plethora of beauties adorning our Botanic Gardens at this time. - Twill bring a shineto your day, to be sure! - #fbbgsa #subtropical #swampbloodwood #red #pink #corymbiaptychocarpa #beauty #autumnflowering #friendsbrisbanebotanicgardensandsherwoodarboretum #brisbanebotanicgardensmtcoottha #joytobehold #trees #floweringtrees #australiannativeplants #brisbanecitybotanicgardens

Early autumn is the changeover time when it comes to growing vegetables, so its time to pick the last of the summer produce and plant the new autumn and winter crops. - The following veggies will best grow in a sub-tropical and tropical areas...and liven up your soups and stews over winter....Cucumber, Beans, Tomatoes, Parsnips, Egplants and Capsicums. - If you enjoy growing herbs, you might enjoy adding to your selection from the following list this autumn...the following are perfect for winter staples such as soups, stews and casseroles...Rosemary, Bay, Sage, Oregano, Thyme, Coriander, Rocket, Mizuna, Chervil and Parsley. - But first we need to prepare our beds and ABC gardener, Jerry Colby Williams has a few good suggestions to focus our current kitchen garden efforts. - https://www.abc.net.au//factsh/subtropical-success/9434984 - #fbbgsa #subtropical #herbs #subtropicalgarden #winter #winterveggies #greens #friendsbrisbanebotanicgardensandsherwoodarboretum #brisbanebotanicgardensmtcoottha #brisbanecitycouncil #brisbanecitybotanicgardens #kitchengardens #rootveggies #vegitablesoup #spice #vegitablegarden #compost #jerrycolbywilliams See more
