Today we hoofed it uphill to get to the Roma Gardens. This is the same area that hosted the enchanted gardens from last week. This time everything was in the daylight and all the flowers were bursting into view. 10,000 steps was well worth the effort. What follows will be another big flower showcase!
Up hill and along a big rock wall
This walkway is supported by the big yellow steel post
Past the Roma Train station
It begins with a crimson red flower bed
Too good to share indeed!
Fountains in the park

Clusters of these yellow beauties shone bright in the sun
A big tree fern
This flower laden tree was 30 feet tall
Great balls of flowers
The insects loved these balls
This is a Queensland Bottle Tree and not a baobab tree. Although Baobab do grow in Australia it is unknown how they started growing here a mere72,000 years ago
