Christmas preparations are underway at Legacy! 🎁

Earlier this week, it was all hands on deck as Sydney Legacy put together Christmas hampers and wrapped presents for our families and younger Widows.

The holidays can be a difficult time for many of the families we care for, both emotionally and financially. These presents are just one small way we can bring comfort and joy.

These Christmas hampers are made possible through a generous donation from Activision Blizzard, whose team also volunteered their time to help prepare the gifts.

Sydney Legacy also wrapped some gifts for our upcoming Family & Youth Christmas party, which were kindly donated by Safran.

Thank you for helping us make the season brighter for our veterans' families 💙

🌸 Flower of the Day 20th November 🌸
Croton (Codiaeum variegatum)
The Language of flowers: movement, change, rebellion

🌍 Native to the tropical forests of Southeast Asia and the western Pacific islands, the Croton evolved beneath warm canopies drenched in filtered sunlight. Its vivid, patterned leaves reflect a landscape rich in moisture and movement. Born from heat and colour, it carries the spirit of vibrant natural rebellion and change.

🎂Birthday Flower: Croton people are bold, bright spirits. Highly competitive yet good natured, they thrive on adventure, movement, and new experiences. Friendly, chatty, and full of lively curiosity, they bring enthusiasm wherever they go and inspire others to embrace change with courage.

🌿 Today’s Croton brings a burst of colour and a reminder that change begins with choice. Its vivid leaves speak of courage, fresh paths, and the energy of movement. If life feels stuck, claim the power you already hold and take one step toward the direction your heart keeps whispering about.

🌻Gardening Tip: Crotons love warmth, humidity, and bright light to maintain their vibrant colours. Keep soil evenly moist but never soggy, and avoid cold drafts. Mist regularly or place near a humidity tray. If leaves dull or drop, increase light and keep the temperature steady. They thrive with gentle, consistent care.

🌸 Flower of the Day 19 November 🌸
Flowering Rush (Butomus umbellatus)
The Language of Flowers: grounding, constructive, information

🌍 Native to the marshes and slow moving waterways of Europe and western Asia, the Flowering Rush evolved where land meets water. Its sturdy stems anchor into saturated soils while its elegant umbels rise above the surface, reflecting a landscape shaped by stillness, clarity, and the steady rhythms of wetlands.

🎂Birthday Flower: Flowering Rush people carry a calm, serious presence. They excel at filtering out distractions and staying focused on what matters. Strong willed and principled, they are protective of those they care about and are often the quiet stabilisers in any situation.

🌱 Today’s Flowering Rush encourages you to settle, centre, and listen. When life becomes noisy, grounding yourself allows clarity to rise. This delicate waterside plant reminds us that constructive action begins with stillness, and that the right information comes when we create space for it.

🌻Gardening Tip:
Flowering Rush prefers damp soil or shallow water and suits ponds, bog gardens, and wetland edges. Plant in full sun for best flowering and use a heavy loam mix in aquatic baskets to prevent floating. Remove spent flower stalks to keep plants tidy and divide clumps every few years.

🌿
Had the best Sunday with my daughter shopping. We found the cutest cooling bandanas at Kmart for DJ and Sailor and they look adorable. We also popped into Harry Hartog at Kotara and it was such a thrill to see so many of my titles on the shelves, including my brand new Earth Magic now out in the world. Thank you so much. And yes, that handsome boy is my granddog Frankenstein. I love him to bits.

🌸 Flower of the Day 18 November 🌸
Tea (Camellia sinensis)
The Language of Flowes: simplicity, intuition, prosperity

🌍 Born in the misty highlands of China, Camellia sinensis thrives on cool air, filtered sunlight and rich, acidic soils. Over centuries it adapted to steep mountain slopes, forming tight glossy leaves that hold warmth and fragrance. Its origins whisper of calm mornings, ancient rituals and the quiet prosperity of a well tended life.

🎂Birthday Flower: Tea born individuals see potential everywhere. They believe deeply in the goodness of people while understanding what needs attention and improvement. Visionary, hardworking and quietly determined, they are focused on creating a legacy with purpose and kindness.

🌿 Today the Tea plant invites you to simplify your inner world. Sit quietly, breathe deeply and listen for the answers you already carry. Its gentle symbolism of intuition and prosperity encourages you to clear space, trust your knowing and allow the small, steady moments of generosity to guide your steps forward.

🌻 Gardening Tip: Camellia sinensis grows beautifully in Australian home gardens when given cool roots and morning sun. Plant in slightly acidic, well drained soil and mulch deeply to keep moisture consistent. Regular light pruning keeps the bush compact and productive. Young leaves can be harvested for your own homemade tea blends.
