Sydney Royal Botanic Gardens Autumn Colours

Flower lovers tend to think that spring is the best time of the year. Maybe they are right, but autumn, too, can offer very nice views – at least in the Royal Botanic Gardens of Sydney.

This post will take you to this magic garden, located right behind the Sydney Opera House. I spent a cloudy autumn afternoon strolling through the gardens with my camera. And I have to say I very much liked what I saw. 

With many exotic flowers in bloom, the gardens really had a colourful flower show going on. Not a bad autumn day!

Have a look at my autumn flower collection and feel the soft, warm Australian autumn! I will show you flowers in different colours, beginning with red.

Then, of course, yellow, the real colour of autumn:

Sydney leaves don’t turn yellow, they are still green:
