Despite the negative connotations about city living, we love it, especially because of our urban balcony garden which has been extra special this past summer. Our frangipanis are continuing to flower into autumn, our succulents are thriving, and we’ve got two birds who visit about once a day to say hi. One of the birds is a beautiful shiny Australian Raven (we don’t have crows in Australia), and the other is a Grey Currawong. I found a shiny black feather from the Raven today when taking some photos of the frangipani flowers.

I’ve never owned a Bromeliad before. I’ve often stopped at plant stores/florists to admire flowering bromeliads, but have never convinced myself to bring one home. Earlier this week, I arrived home to find two new bromeliads sitting near the kitchen bench, a random extemporaneous present from Kitty who had been plant shopping that day. One of the plants is about to flower, whilst the other has just finished flowering. The bummer about Bromeliads is they only flower once, but at least once they have flowered they then offspring (pups), which, when grown up, will flower themselves. A beautiful gift.

I love this season. It gets really warm and all the flowers come out. This has been an amazing year for flowers, everywhere I look, both in our garden and elsewhere, I am surprised by how beautiful plants are when they decide to flower.

I like some of the design elements in this place in the Courier Mail yesterday. I particually like the use of wood, the plumeria in the courtyard, and also the L shaped pond with water lilies. The house is at Fig Tree Pocket (although I am not sure where that is in Brisbane, I think out to the West), and it was designed by Bligh Graham Architects.

I really liked the look of this garden, especially the succulents growing on the walls, and the metal sculptures: awesome.
