Plants in your backyard (Green or Gold) - Locationless Geocaching @ Home
|
Locationless Geocaching @ Home Due to the recent COVID-19 Pandemic and the advice that restricting your movements outside your home to only essential activities, Geocaching Australia will be listing 3 special locationless geocaches to find from the confines of your home this month. The usual rules of locationless geocaches apply in that you must be at the location when your photograph is taken and that you should include co-ordinates of the location where the photograph was taken, however to protect your privacy you may list the co-ordinates in your closest park, shopping centre, the corner of your street or other close location that maintains your privacy. These special geocaches may only be logged once each and at the end of the month they will be archived as they are only intended to be used for the 2020 Game of Games. We strongly encourage you to take advantage of the requirements that the locationless geocaches be found within the confines of your property or on your daily excersize and we encourage you to think laterally in the event that a challenge may not be normally achievable. Part of this challenge is to think how creative you can be in capturing the essence of the locationless geocaches while remaining at your home location or on your daily excersize. Geocaching Australia encourages you to be inventive and creative with your photography. Think outside the box when it comes to your photograph. As long as the photo is taken on your own property or on your daily excersize and meets the challenge criteria the requirements of this geocache have been met. Logs that have photographic evidence that they were not taken at your home location will not be eligible for this months reward. Challenge Take a photo of a plant from your own property or on your daily excersize where the foliage or flowers are green or gold and attach the photograph to your log. |

When I first heard that there was going to be garden colour challenges and one was red, I thought yippee, I can use my nice red tomato.
Remember when Woolies were giving out little seed kits? Well we got about 8 different kits and I carefully planted and looked after them. Some of them grew, some of them didn't grow. My tomato plant grew. First it produced a tomato but just as it started to go red, something ate half of it. I found the other half on the ground underneath. Then a little bit later, another tomato grew. I was really looking forward to it, both for lunch and for a photo but on the 2nd of May it went missing. I don't know who ate it. Peter maybe?
Now my tomato bush is covered in little yellow flowers which are turning into green tomatos. I have been watching them very carefully because I am really looking forward to a tomato sandwich.
My photo is of some of my growing green tomatoes. I had hoped one of them would be red by now but instead I will have to claim it for the green challenge.
Thank you for the cache.

This one was easy, one of the first things we did when we moved to our current house was to plant a lemon tree. It loves it's position and and we just can't keep up with all the fruit it produces, plenty have been given away over the years. TFTC
There's lots of green ones, but somehow I don't think these are going to turn orange in time for the other challenge. Thanks Geocaching Australia.
A favourite plant in our yard - Aucuba japonica, commonly called spotted laurel, Japanese laurel, Japanese aucuba or gold dust plant.
Thanks Geocaching Australia for the chance to highlight our plants.

Everywhere you look it's green and gold at this time of year.
From the lawn to the trees and all the plants between, but we have chosen this little patch of green moss.
It has some wonderful textures in there.

We do not have many flowers in our garden at present so I have been watching out on my daily walks for something different to photograph.
There is quite a variety of gold/yellow flowers and I chose these yellow daisies.

No gold flowers in my backyard do had to resort to green leaves. The lemons are almost good. Thanks Geocaching Australia for the cache.
There is plenty of green about, of course, but not so much gold at our abode. So here's our flowering ash, with it's green turning to gold before shedding for winter, and a humble gold dandelion on its green background. Thanks Geocaching AustraliaRated: for Overall Experience

Well I'm not much of a gardener, in fact I hate gardening. There's really only one colour in a yard of weeds, and that's green, however, I do have one little corner where some ferns are still surviving.

These are my gorgeous lemon and lime shrubs. They have doubled in size in the short time I've had them and may well outgrow their pots in the near future.
Thanks

When this first came up i thought how on earth am i going to do this one as we had no plants in our garden but luckily we planted some plants at the weekend which had the right colours to be able to qualify for this months games.
I have no idea what they are called as i didnt look at the names before planting them.

Doing the 12 of 12 photo challenge so decided today was the day to capture a few plant photos to qualify for the May 2020 challenge. I saw gold and when I went to take a photo the green was in the way. I realised that if I just move the camera around at this angle... A nice shot of the two. 
Now this plant is pain in my backside, I've dug it out twice now
I think fire will be the next try

This was another easy one, of course. Get bit of yellow/gold and green in here. Don't know exactly what this shrubbery is called, though.

Oops, I had in my head that this challenge was for something green or silver, not green or gold! No matter, because my photo show the green leaves on a silver wattle! Thanks.
Nana nel has been talking about this and taking photos of flowers of various colours.
I have just had a good look and can see that it's about the plants. Not as easy so here is my Green or Gold in the one plant at this time of year. The King Orchid goes through a change and the bulb goes gold during winter and will return to green in Spring.

Hello from my wife's garden. This is a young Cayenne Pepper plant, notice one pepper already showing itself on the right. It should produce peppers throughout the summer (I'm in the northern hemisphere).
Thanks for the fun.

We have a row of camellias down the southern side of our house. My grandmother had a few at her house too and after she died we transferred a small one of hers to our garden as a sort of memory of her so I chose that for the green foliage.

The leaves of the Golden Elm and a camellia contrast strongly in our back garden. The flower on our calendula also provides a splash of yellow to the garden. The required photo has been added to the Gallery. Thanks Geocaching Australia for the cache.
Strictly speaking these vines come from next door but they are doing quite well on my side of the fence!

Since we are Queenslanders, we were lucky enough to go for a drive and have a picnic, as long as we were still within a 50km radius of home. We decided it would be an opportune time for some cache maintenance, one of which is in Cascade Gardens at Broadbeach. The gardens have an arc of garden beds which are often mass planted with canna lilies. During the last Ge-Gnome race it was often a teleport station for gnomes wishing to travel to or from the Gold Coast. The moveables easily able to hide amongst the stems and leaves.
The cannas are still flowering but perhaps not as prolifically as in the summer months. I took the opportunity to photograph one of the yellow variants. You can't help but feel happy to see such a brightly coloured flower plus I managed to capture a butterfly who looks positively dowdy compared to the flower on which s/he is resting.

There is also a lemon tree in our backyard and they are also starting to ripen. There is both green and gold in this photo.
Our backyard is our balcony, although there is also our common area with lots of plants over the 3.5 acres of our complex. The plant for this locationless is our green and gold Cordyline, which Google tells me is also the scientific name. Cordylines are part of the Asparagaceae family. This one has been sitting on the balcony for the 5 years we have lived here...and is thriving in the Canberra weather.

This green and gold cinifer is in our front garden. It was supposed to be a minitature tree, After 2 years it has now reached the guttering on the house. At Christmas time we decorate the tree with coloured lights. TFTC

A bit of green and gold on the lemon trees at the moment. They struggled through the drought, and the fruit right now isn't as good as normal - but it's fruit none the less. This lemon tree is not to sour - so perfect to add to water for a nice drink, or on top of fish is good too. The blood orange not too far away is my favourite citrus by far, but no fruit last year because of the drought.

Our pride and joy lemon tree.
Almost ready to ditch it after not fruiting for many years but look at it now.

As we now only live in an home unit, the gardening is mainly done in pots of all shapes and sizes. This low growing native on occasions produces these orange brush type flowers. TFTLC to keep us busy in these difficult times GA.

Soooo many things to choose from here as I love succulents and have plenty of plants not in flower, but I've gone with this bad boy because of it's age. I've had this cactus since I was a teenager (only few years ago 
) and I've taken many many pups from it, and even being left in the corner without much attention, it keeps going.

It’s not very nice out there, very cold, windy an wet, but I ventured out to take this photo of a young avocado forming on our tree in the backyard.
There are lots of gold in our backyard with the autumn leaves. Here is some gold leaves that have fallen onto our green hedge
The attached photo is of an "Umbrella Lily" bulb sprouting GREEN leaves. It is also known as the "Candelabra Lily" or "Josephine's Lily". When it flowers it makes a radiating flower cluster almost 3 feet across! This one is brilliant red and has a long stem and the red flowers on smaller stalks radiate from the large stem and looks like an umbrella. Hence the name. A photo of the red flowering umbrella lily taken from internet is attached, so you can see what it would look like when it flowers in summer). TFTL

This is a shot of my purple flowering hebes in a garden bed towards the rear of the yard with the tall green pittosporum in the background. The hebes I only prune every couple of years as they grow slow enough for the lazy gardener and when they are trimmed down to sticks it's only a season before they're back, green and glorious. Alas, no flowers this time of year, but when they do flowers it's very prolific and the bees come around for tasty treats.
