i LOVE the university's arboretum. it makes me so happy. especially this time of year when the australian and south african gardens are blooming with flowers that feel like they should be straight out of a dr. seuss book - eucalyptus, banksia, grevillea, and protea in all shapes and colors. and the hummingbirds are back in force, especially allen's hummingbird. and a beautiful, warm february day to stroll in the gardens...who could ask for more?!
century plant
mason bee hive
three types of eucalyptus blooms - from australia
(my favorite eucalyptus bloom - a bit fraggle rock-ish)
bottlebrush
four banksia species
two types of grevillea
and finally the south african contingent - starting with the proteas
and last but not least from the floral side, the seussical featherheads
and the faunal showstopper of them all...
allen's hummingbird. isn't he a handsome fellow?
