Autumn brings flowers: Exotic and Indigenous

Autumn in Sydney brings the first blooms on exotic Sasanqua Camellias, bursts of flowers from red to white with all shades of pink in between. Their show will last for months. At the same time, Banksia ‘Birthday Candles’ is putting on a show. Unlike the camellias, the blooms stay on the bush and go through evolution over a year.

    1. Thank you, Phil. The larger leaved Camellias Japonica flower here from Winter to early spring. I’ve always been intrigued by the anomaly you raised.
