Girl in Melbourne: More flowers

Thursday, 5 April 2012

I've been to the Botanic Gardens every day for the past three...or is it four?...days now.

Eucalyptus flower (click to enlarge)

Don't know what this is, but it's purdy

Camellia

Pincushion flower in the herb garden

This was a Pincushion flower

Another phase of the Pincushion flower lifecycle

Don't know what this is, but it looks good

A rose of some kind (it was in the rose garden)
