Brisbane Botanical Gardens - Mt Cootha


 

   
  
Melaleuca 'Reeves Pink'

These photos were taken during a recent excursion with members of the SGAP Qld (Society for Growing Australian Plants) to the Brisbane Botanical Gardens at Mt Cootha. They have an extremely large Australian Plant Communities section which includes a Grevillea Garden, Lake Walk and Rainforest Walk.
  

The Grevillea garden was a riot of colour!! There were some incredible Melaleuca specimens also!!  Unfortunately, I can't remember the names of all the species that I photographed, but here are several of them. Enjoy ... I know I did !!

  2. lovely pics Leanne! Looks like the garden is at its best right now, I remember being somewhat dissapointed with it when I first visited a while ago, I will get over there soon to see some of the lovely natives flowering. Beautiful Grevillea.
