Lego Botanical Collection Chrysanthemum [10368]
One of the Four Gentlemen or Four Noble Ones series representing the seasons, chrysanthemum represents autumn.
Given we are in the Australian autumn it is convenient that it is the plant that we already have, the rest will be ordered, likely shown at the start of their season.We’ve seen the Lego flowers, now a look at the various Lego plants in the collection.
We can’t kill these plants, worst treatment is they can collect dust!

Rockingham Post Shop – the Post Office location at Rockingham City Shopping Centre where our online purchasing arrives. Above is the after hours collection door, below the post box area where our box is located.
There is also a Post Office at the Rockingham beach foreshore area (Rockingham Beach LPO), which is closer and where any parcels that can’t be delivered to the house are taken, but it doesn’t have after hours collection and parking is less abundant.

Far south drain at the Garden Island Highway and Rae Road intersection.
Above is the drain looking east, south of Rae Road. The section along Rae Road is the only section that is fenced off.
Below is looking north west across the intersection to the other end of where it goes under the intersection, a good 50m away.
