Aaaaallll the way back in September, I attended the local flower festival. Just to make things confusing, this was separate from my visit to the tulip farm I attended around the same time. I've been meaning to post the photos for months.
It was still early in the season and a lot of flowers weren't out yet. Nevertheless, there were some very fine tulips.
Below is a sculpture sponsored by the Australian War Memorial. For a donation, you could add a fake poppy to the wall. The overall effect was quite striking, though difficult to photograph well.
In the native garden, they had some gorgeous kangaroo paw.
