More pretty flowers ....

I took DD, who is now home from London, to visit the Rhododendron Garden (I had only been there two weeks before but it was fascinating to see the changes in the garden in that short period of time).

We saw more pretty flowers, a beautiful rosella and a very tall tree (if you turn your sound on for this first video you will hear the bird song, too).

It truly is a magical place and a great way to get some pleasant exercise, too.

Thanks for visiting,

Pretty flowers.....

... at the National Rhododendron Garden in Olinda (now called the Dandenong Ranges Botanic Garden).  Warning: Pic heavy!

Yesterday was such a gorgeous day in Melbourne - 20 degrees and blue skies - so when our dear friends, Marie and Tony, suggested an impromptu trip to the National Rhododendron Garden in Olinda we jumped at the chance. TraderVic and I had never been before and boy, were we in for a treat.

Wide, wandering paths and lots of gorgeous trees, flowers and views to enjoy.

If you look very hard you can see a female lyrebird - they are notoriously shy, so it was amazing to actually see one here.

These ladybird rocks were scattered throughout the whole gardens. So cute!

We then stopped at Dudley's for a late lunch of delicious pizza...

... and a well deserved glass of vino (after all our walking)....

I hope that you have enjoyed this visit to the Rhododendron Garden with me.

Thanks for visiting,
