Cape Chestnut

Melbourne has a good collections of gardens and the Fitzroy Gardens is one of the best. They are wonderfully laid out across 26 hectares, with huge formal garden beds, walking paths and a superb collection of trees.

Cape Chestnut tree is noted for its flowering display in early summer. It bears masses of showy, light pink to dark mauve flowers. In bloom, the pink-draped Cape Chestnut is a magnificent sight.

A clear sky and a bright sunny afternoon helped me to capture the above frame of Cape Chestnut flowers at the Fitzroy Garden.
