FOTD – Dahlia

Happy Friday everyone and welcome to another colourful edition of flower of the day. Today’s flower is the dahlia as I was able to spot a few different coloured dahlias yesterday evening in the city.

These flowers are native to Mexico and thrive on warmth and sunlight, rewarding even modest care with a long season of blooms. Their colours can shift subtly with changes in light and temperature, giving them a lively, almost changeable character. 

Spotted at the Royal Botanical Gardens Sydney – I love how their colours really POP!

FOTD – White Angel’s Trumpet

Happy Friday to you all!

Love these flowers. Spotted at the Botanical Gardens in Sydney during the week. These flowers get their name due to their appearance and although they are absolutely stunning, be careful as they are highly dangerous if ingested.

FOTD – Penny Mac

Happy Friday everyone. Today’s flower of the day is called the Penny Mac Hydrangea, spotted in the conservatory at City Park, Launceston. I have recently learned that it is named after a real person, Penny McHenry, a well-known hydrangea enthusiast from Atlanta, Georgia. She founded the American Hydrangea Society and was influential in popularising hydrangeas in American gardens. How cool is that?!

FOTD – Madonna Lily

Today’s flower of the day is the Madonna Lily.


The Madonna lily – gained its name due to its long-standing association with the Virgin Mary (Madonna) in Christian art and symbolism – that’s something new that I learned today. I just thought these were very striking flowers, spotted in the conservatory at City Park, Tasmania. I trust that you’re all having a lovely Friday!
