Papery baubles hanging from a persoonia/geebung. What are they harbouring? What will emerge?

The gorgeous fringe lilies are flowering in local bushland (south coast NSW). Here's one with an appreciative hoverfly.

From this morning's swim. Water stunningly clear and cool (not cold), sun warm (not blazing), and only the slightest of breezes.💚

Looking south towards Bulli headland.

The gardenias are scenting the air (and my home) with their creamy-white blooms on this sunshiny blue day, and it's just so uplifting.🥰
