Roldana (thank you, Wilma!!)
This one's probably "Roldana_aschenborniana", according to another post of the same plant (I think)--same garden, anyhow. 😊
A biggish shrub (native to Mexico), growing at the UC Botanical Garden. (spiky leaves belong to another plant!)
Be not afraid of growing slowly, be afraid only of standing still.

The daylily is an amazingly low-maintenance perennial. It’s virtually disease-free, pest-free, and drought-resistant; it’s also not picky about soil quality. Plus, the flower has a long bloom period! Here’s how to plant and care for daylilies in your garden, as well as how to easily propagate them for more plants!
About Daylilies
The daylily’s botanical name, Hemerocallis, comes from the Greek hemera (“day”) and kallos (“beauty”). The name is appropriate since each flower lasts only one day! However, each scape has 12 to 15 buds on it, and a mature plant can have 4 to 6 scapes, which is why the flower seems to bloom continuously.
Originally from Asia, these plants have adapted so well that many of us think of them as natives. Imagine the excitement of a 16th-century explorer cruising the Orient and finding these gorgeous plants! European gardeners welcomed daylilies into their gardens, and when early colonists sailed for the New World, daylilies made the crossing with them.
Despite their name, daylilies are not “true lilies” and grow from fleshy roots. True lilies grow from onion-like bulbs and are of the genus Lilium, as are Asiatic and Oriental lilies. In the case of daylilies, leaves grow from a crown, and the flowers form on leafless stems—called “scapes”—which rise above the foliage.
There are thousands of beautiful daylilies to choose from. Combine early, midseason, late blooming varieties, and repeat bloomers to have daylilies in flower from late spring through the first frost of fall. If you see a height listed alongside a daylily variety, this refers to the length of the scape. Some can reach 6 feet tall!

These Daylilies were photographed at Pashley Manor Gardens. At Pashley you will discover 11 acres of beautiful borders and vistas – the culmination of a lifetime of passion for gardening, an appetite for beauty and an admiration of the tradition of the English Country garden. These graceful gardens, on the border of Sussex and Kent, are family owned and maintained – visitors often express delight at the attention to detail displayed throughout and the intimate, peaceful atmosphere.
All the ingredients of the English Country Garden are present – sweeping herbaceous borders, ha-ha, well maintained lawns, box hedges, espaliered rose walk, historic walled garden, inspiring kitchen garden, venerable trees and the Grade I listed house as a backdrop. The gardens are a haven for wildlife – bees, butterflies and small birds as well as moor hens, ducks and a black swan. Then, of course, the plants! Borders overflowing with perennials and annuals – the look changing through the seasons, but always abundantly filled, and each garden ‘room’ planted in a different colour theme.
Pashley is also renowned for fantastic displays of tulips, roses and dahlias. Our annual Tulip Festival features more than 48,000 tulips this year! During Special Rose Week over a hundred varieties of rose swathe the walls, climb obelisks and bloom in flower beds. Then in late summer our Dahlia Days event transforms the gardens once more with bountiful, brightly coloured dahlias in every border and pot.
Add to all this a Café and Terrace with excellent garden views, serving delicious homemade lunches, scones and cakes; Sculpture and Art Exhibitions; a Gift Shop with Plant Sales; and a friendly, knowledgeable team waiting to welcome you, and the recipe for a wonderful day out is complete.

Some may remember a photo I posted last August of a Cape Leeuwin that was self sown in the front corner of the garden. It is now about 15 inches (~40cm) tall and growing strong. I will add the original image in the comments.
Abundant Wild mushroom ( identified as Dutch “zwavel kopjes “) growing on a rotten tree trunk. Even though these are so delicate, they are still capable of pushing up and away a significant piece of tree bark .

They just keep growing. I wish they were on our property so I could do a time-lapse. Last year there were only a couple on that spot. This took a 60 image stack and it brought me right the end.
Australian Hobby (Falco longipennis) juvenile
I did take the camera when we went to do the school shopping.
Only the one Hobby was around as we headed to the uniform store so I took a few shots. It was still sitting there as we came back. Its crop looks full so I think it had recently eaten.
I've been checking on the Hummingbird chicks every day. I can't believe the difference just two days makes! Just prior to a storm rolling in.....

Redbuds grow wild and abundant here in Virginia. Scrawny little trees on the edges of woods that fight for the sun in dappled light. Always beautiful in Spring, but when they are planted ornamentally in full sun, they are a sight to behold.
These baby gannets at Cape Kidnapper grow up really fast. I saw some of them almost as big as their moms. They were demanding too!
Sorry about the quality, I didn't have the tripod! He's not so fluffy now and is growing really fast :)
A Great crested grebe chick being fed by it's parent. The chicks are getting quite big now and have started to practice fishing for themselves.
Diaplan 100 1:2.8. Nicht gerade ein Schärfe- und Kontrast-Wunder, aber trotzdem mit einem eigenen Charakter ;-)
I first thought this cactus must be struggling, but after checking it out a bit, it appears to be healthy. It must have a good root system, as it grows propped up by the tree.
Corokia cotoneaster
...I really need one of these for my garden; a shrub with stars for flowers.... :-)
