glorious Bottle Trees

Last week we made a trip down to the big smoke and took in a picnic at the Roma Street Parklands.  Taking in the gardens we came across these massive Bottle Trees.  An awesome sight...




Very inspiring for sculptural works...

  3. I walk past one of these trees each day - not this big yet - and like you I love that form!

  4. Hi Marilena, they are quiet amazing trees.

    Hi Jo, it is a beautiful place.

    Hi Fiona, how wonderful to have one near - I hear they take years to grow this size.

  5. Hi Kim, when in Broome several years ago we saw lots of Bottle trees and some were in flower - a beautiful white bloom with lots of long stamens - thanks for reminding me, I'll have to see if I still have an image.
