A drive up to Mt. Coot-tha was another rewarding experience. The flowering Gums caught my eye straight away ! At 'home' amongst 'fellow' Gums. The beauty of Australia.

"The rose is a rose from the time it is a seed to the time it dies. Within it, at all times, it contains its whole potential. It seems to be constantly in the process of change: Yet at each state, at each moment, it is perfectly all right as it is."

Centaurium erythraea (Gentianaceae) 170 21
Centaurium erythraea is a species of flowering plant in the gentian family known by the common names common centaury and European centaury.
It is a widespread plant of Europe (including Scotland, Sweden, and Mediterranean countries) and parts of western Asia and northern Africa.
This is an erect biennial herb that reaches half a meter in height. It grows from a small basal rosette and bolts a leafy, erect stem with many branches.
The erect inflorescences emerge from the stem and grow parallel to it, sometimes tangling with the foliage. Each inflorescence may contain many flowers. The petite flower is pinkish-lavender. It flowers from June until September.

It's not usually easy to get a photo of a flowering yucca as the flowers are normally up high and on a difficult angle to photograph but I found this one which is quite nice.

The Himalayan marmot lives in colonies and excavates deep burrows that colony members share during hibernation.The species hibernates from the late autumn to the early spring, on average for 71⁄2 months. Burrows are between 2 and 10 m (6.6–32.8 ft) deep, given that the upper soil layer is sufficiently light and deep such as fluvioglacial, deluvial and alluvial deposits. Where soil conditions are ideal on alluvial terraces, marmot colonies comprise up to 30 families, with up to 10 families living in an area of 1 km (0.6 mi). The marmot eats plants growing on pastures, in particular the soft and juicy parts of grassy plant species like Carex, Agrostis, Deschampsia, Koeleria and flowering species like Euphrasia, Gentiana, Halenia, Polygonum, Primula, Ranunculus, Saussurea, Taraxacum Iris potaninii.
