The hibiscus in #AdelaideBotanicGarden are looking beautiful near the Main Lake. If you live near the city, head in to immerse yourself in nature while you take your daily exercise. Please adhere to social distancing requirements and visit either solo or with one other person 🙂

The huge task of pruning the International Rose Garden has begun! It will take Kylie, pictured here, and most other members of our horticultural team days to get through, but it will lead to a stunning result come spring.

In memory of Australian soldiers past and present, 300 students, teachers and parents planted more than 1000 Flanders Poppies at Mount Lofty Botanic Garden this week. The cultivar is called Ladybird and is a beautiful symbol of remembrance on this centenary Armistice Day.

Native orchids are out in full force at Mount Lofty Botanic Garden. This is the Donkey orchid (Diuris pardina) and is popping up throughout the Garden. These leopard-print flowers last about 3-4 weeks before disappearing, so make sure you visit soon! Photo Credit: Lisa Duffy

Striking scenes at #Adelaide #BotanicGarden today as we were graced with not 1, but 3 x Victoria amazonica #waterlilies! It's also the first time our staff have seen two flowering from one plant. More on our Amazon Waterlilies: bit.ly/2k2UzDI – at Adelaide, South Australia
