The Easter Bunny can be traced back to Thirteenth Century, pre-Christian Germany, where people worshiped several gods and goddesses. The Teutonic deity Eostra was the goddess of spring and fertility, and feasts were held in her honor on the Vernal Equinox. Her symbol was the rabbit because of the animal’s high reproduction rate. In the Eighteenth Century, the tradition of an egg-laying hare called “Osterhase” or “Oschter Haws” also came out of Germany.
Easter Eggs represent the birth of new life, and it’s believed that decorating eggs for Easter also dates back to the Thirteenth Century. Hundreds of years ago, churches had their congregations abstain from eggs during Lent, allowing them to be consumed again on Easter.
The theme for “Looking Close on Friday” for the 8th of April is “eggs in black and white” as we draw nearer to Easter 2022. Therefore, I am celebrating with Peter Rabbit, who whilst not the Easter Bunny, is a well loved character from my childhood. "The Tale of Peter Rabbit" is a children's book written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter, published in 1901, that follows mischievous and disobedient young Peter Rabbit as he gets into, and is chased around, the garden of Mr. McGregor. This Peter Rabbit egg-shaped lidded tin was a gift from a friend Easter two years ago. I hope you like my choice for the theme, and that it makes you smile

Quartz is a mineral composed of silicon dioxide, SiO2. Quartz is used as a raw material for both glass and porcelain and is one of the most important ingredients in ceramic glazes. There are many different varieties of quartz that have different colors due to different impurities. Amethyst, citrine, rose quartz and smoky quartz are some examples. Many of these are used in jewelry.

“There is simply the rose; it is perfect in every moment of its existence.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson.
The theme for “Looking Close… on Friday” on the 12th of February is “roses”. I thought this perfect “Black Magic” rose bloom with her velvety petals, taken in the Alister Clarke Rose Garden of the St Kilda Botanical Gardens in Melbourne, was the right choice. I think she is very beautiful, and represents the shape, form and rich colour that make roses such a favourite flower.
The “Black Magic” rose is loved worldwide for its fascinating deep, dark red, almost black coffee coloured velvety petals and continuous flowering. The blooms are a classic rose shape with a high pointed centre. “Black Magic” is one of very few red roses to produce excellent blooms during our hot summers. “Black Magic” was bred and introduced by Tantau in 1997. Rosen Tantau, located in Northern Germany, has been breeding roses successfully for more than a century. One of its specialties is the creation of Hybrid Tea Roses suitable for the garden and cut flower industry. Black Magic has become very popular around the world as one of the best deep red roses which is relatively disease resistant and produces many quality flowers throughout the entire season.
The St Kilda Botanical Gardens are a very beautiful place to visit, not least for all for their wonderful array of roses found in the Alister Clarke Rose Garden. The site of the St Kilda Botanical Gardens were established in the 1800's. The municipal council petitioned the Department of Lands and Survey to make this segment of land bordered by Dickens Street, Tennyson Street and Blessington Street a Botanic Garden. The gardens were formally established in 1859 when a boundary fence was erected. By 1907 significant donations of money and plant material had led to the establishment of a rosary, extensive flower beds and a nursery. Exotic forest trees were planted during the 1870s and Australian species were included in 1932. In the 1950s the Alister Clarke Rose Garden was established and a Sub-Tropical Rain-forest conservatory added in the early 1990's.
