North Adelaide this Week

Cikolatte doing fabulous coffee, teas and chocolates.

But, we have a new cafe opening in the street – Wild Thyme, an organic supermarket and cafe. It looks fabulous. Stay tuned for more news and photos of Wild Thyme.

Found Objects

Bottlebrushes are prolific at the moment. They are red and luscious and frame the sky. However, parrots love them, and nip the stem, resulting in a carpet of wonderful redness. When this carpet is in the driveway of a house, the flowers are flattened. A bit like floral roadkill (oops, sorry).

 A feather blew into my house one day. Look at that spine – isn’t it marvellous?

Red really is the colour of this time of year, right up until Xmas.

A floral tribute in Spring

The bottlebrushes in full bloom, all over Adelaide.

And so are Roses. This is the time for them in Adelaide. They are Everywhere. Adelaide is quite famous for its roses. (Actually, there are three plants flowering prolifically all over Adelaide right now - Bottlebrushes, Native Frangipane, and Roses. But roses get the fame  only.)

Constructed Objects

One way to get around our VERY SEVERE drought and VERY SEVERE water restrictions is to use plastic flowers – even in hanging baskets…..

…. and maybe to drink beer instead of water??? !!

Don’t forget to Walk! Observe! Enjoy!
