Lilly Pilly Walk

Lilly Pilly Walking
along the river...

The grevillea are now finishing
their flowering
and taking their place
are the Lilly Pillies

One of the most popular plants
in Australia today

the evergreen rainforest plants
have glossy green leaves
often with flushes of colourful new growth
from pink to reddish brown
in colour












The Lilly Pillies flower
in spring or early summer

fluffy white flowers mainly
but the ones I have seen
are red - Powderpuff
Lilly Pilly Wilsonii











and a soft pink variety

The flowers are followed by berries
in red, purple or white

I stopped along the river
to look closely at the pink species

which was being looked at very closely
by another species altogether...


(these bee shots are worthy of enlarging - click!)

hundreds of bees
were enjoying the fresh pollen

of this pretty flowering shrub
which is sometimes called
an Australian Cherry tree

the Lilly Pilly
