Just a few plants that have been propagated in the last few months. These will grow on in the nursery before planting out in the park later this year. Dicondra repens Correa reflexa Goodenia ovata

New Year’s Day festival at work, always love working the evening shift. The music, lights and the atmosphere, you can really see why events return to the Park each year

Lots of new foliage in the glasshouse at Werribee Park @ParksVictoria, amazing what a bit of sun and heat does for the plants 🪴

Now that we have had some warmer weather the first flush of rose flowers have burst into bloom @ParksVictoria Victoria State Rose Garden, Werribee Park

Dicksonia tree ferns putting on their spring flush of new fronds

Nestled in amongst the ferns, Corrigan Suspension Bridge hangs over the fern gully below

@ryangnels Thanks Ryan it’s my happy place 🌴🌿🌱🪴

With this weeks stormy and wet conditions it was a great opportunity to get the glasshouse cleaned up and ready for summer. This included planting out several plants which were about to break out of there pots being planted in garden beds.

@Andyfern13 Ah yes, sad to see the tree ferns leaving the glasshouse

@cam_95 The first two pictures are filmy ferns

Moses and bryophytes living on Dicksonia antartica trunks and rocks around the Erskine Falls

Drosera species which is a type of carnivorous plant growing in the regional bushland surrounding Melbourne

Rhododendrons starting to bloom @ParksVictoria Dandenong Ranges Botanic Garden

Lots of interesting fungi growing out in Australia bush

@gardeninchemist It has quite the plant collection and it’s very peaceful

One of my favourite places to spend time when I'm in the Melbourne area.

The silverbeet harvest at Werribee park continues, only a few more harvest to go before removal. The partere will then be allowed a couple of weeks of rest before the summer floral display will be planted

Love this hidden gem just outside Melbourne. Open to the public with an extensive collection of plants 🪴

Wildflower hunting in rural Victoria with Horticulturalists and Botanists from @ParksVictoria @mobotgarden and Argentina. Great way to strengthen connections and network after the 7th Global Botanic Garden Congress @bgci @BGANZ1

@ryangnels I was so surprised to see them, the horticulturalists amongst us were in awe. I’m glad the visitors from Missouri and Argentina got to see them

Amazing to see these native orchids in rural Victoria Caladenia major, Diuris pardina and Caladenia carnea

@ryangnels Must have just missed you, I passed through Daylesford with some guests today

@ryangnels @ParksVictoria @bgci @BGANZ1 Thanks Ryan
