It’s winter here in Sydney, and the cold fronts we’ve been getting these few days have left me shivering from head to toe. Now that I’m a little older, the cold bites me even more, so much so that I feel it in my bones.
My friend and I completed the Cremorne Point Circuit walk today making this the first winter walk for the year. I’ve been to Mosman, but never to Cremorne, so I was excited to visit this part of Sydney. For the uninitiated, Cremorne is a leafy suburb nestled in North Sydney, and is surrounded by bushland and stunning harbour views.
On our walk today, the sun was out and I could feel the gentle warmth on my face, which made it rather pleasant despite the cold wintry air. In particular, I loved seeing all the beautiful plants and flowers along the way. The houses tucked away beneath the bushes were stunning, and I’d kept wondering who lived in those houses, and what their life looked like.
I spotted a small garden with flowers at the beginning of the walk that looked visibly striking. With its purple flowers with blue tips, it appeared as if they were hovering in the garden. There was a sign in front that had more information about the garden, what these plants are, and who planted them. Guess who had completely forgotten to read the sign as I was too carried away snapping pictures of these plants? Yes, it’s me. I thought these were Elephant Ears at first, but it turns out these could be Aechmea Blue Tango plants, according to an internet search.
