Just a few shots to show you what lies behind the magnificent Moreton Bay Fig trees in yesterdays post.. the good side of the road! First shot, the entrance into the Supreme Court Gardens off busy St. Georges Terrace, the gardens are always lovely but in spring they are especially so.. and surprising also, I'm not sure if I've ever seen rhubarb (below) used as a border plant before :) here combined with red geraniums..
Close up just to be sure :) rhubarb.. right! Maybe not :)
If you look carefully you can just see the Bell Tower down there on the Esplanade above the trees to the very right..
Below the Supreme Court building established in 1861. Here unfortunately looking a little washed out in the midday sun, apologies!
Looking down Barrack St. below another view of the Weld Club and in the distance through the trees a glimpse of the Narrows Bridge..
... and to finish, below the entrance into the gardens from along the Esplanade. It will be interesting to see how the established here, and the new modern architecture just across the road will meld together. Perth and particularly St. Georges Terrace is already a mix of old and new, it might work.. desperately trying to keep an open mind here :) Happy Wednesday, take care..
It looks beautiful in Spring. Rhubarb...that's a different type of border all right!
ReplyDeleteDat is een geweldig mooie kant van de weg daar kan je genieten.
ReplyDeleteSo many pleasures for the eyes , so much things, places, gardes and beautiful buildings to look at ! A great and interesting place !
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful promenade ! Merci.
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely area, Grace! I've never seen rhubarb used like that either but it does seem to work.
ReplyDeleteI was going to say swiss chard.
ReplyDeleteWow, you gardens have come alive. Everywhere you pointed your camera there are flowers blooming. It looks great.
ReplyDeleteI think they use rhubard because most people don't recognise it here so they don't steal it... It looks lovely though, doesn't it? And very tempting! Such lovely spring views!
ReplyDeleteLovely colours in those gardens, Grace!
ReplyDeleteThe arrival of spring and everything looks so fresh. Thinking about stewed rhubarb now.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful plantings.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of a bit of 'heaven' in among the 'chaos'! Think that could be 'Viking Spinach' .
ReplyDeletehallo Grace,
ReplyDeletevery nice shots, and lot of magic colors.. that gardens are really nice... ciao
Wow ... the gardens are so lush and green, bursting with life and abundant with flowers. Good for the soul Grace.
ReplyDeleteYour city is beautiful too. The flowers are lovely and everything so green.I heard you had a big storm there the other day.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers Grace! I'm sure you are glad spring is starting to make an appearance. I love the columns on the Supreme Court building.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me, my rhubard needs some TLC. Gotta do some research. Just not getting my once large, flowing crop.
ReplyDeleteWow, what did we do to deserve all these gorgeous photos in one day!!! :)
ReplyDeleteBTW, I always get Swiss chard and rhubarb mixed up. Could be a baking disaster.
