It was pretty special SG ... the garden attracts loads of butterflys at certain times of the year but they are not easy to snap because they are very fluttery lol ...

This next lot of flowers were in the same park ... and we are in autumn here ... there were lots of empty garden beds ... will definitely revisit in spring ...

I would be in heaven if I had a park like that around here. Even if it isn't in full bloom. Awesome~

I think it's a Morton Bay Fig tree.

Hiya Kate

It looks suspiciously like a magnolia tree/shrub.

Found on Google images...

yeah i think you have nailed it squootchels ... the seed pod looks identical too ... very cool ... it was a beautiful tree ... not laden with flowers ... probably half a dozen all told ... and it did have a perfume ... there was another magnolia tree there which i recognized and snapped but didnt post cause the pic was a bit blurry ...

I love the branches in the blurry one - it looks like a twisted willow.

Kate - do you remember the tulips I posted and you wondered if they would change colour.......? Well, here they are again and yes they've gone from pale white with the subtlest of red/pink edges to a gorgeous rich creamy rhubarb & custard!!








And here are the happy fish...just for good measure.
