The trip to Western Australia could no be complete if I didn’t talk about the flowers we saw. Spring was just unfurling and it was beautiful to witness – in fact we would return again to see more of it a little later in the season – mid October perhaps when more of the wild orchids were out. I spotted one only.
So here are some of the ones we saw, some cultivated, some wild, which surrounded us on this trip.
Cornflowers, everlasting pinks and gentian blues…
Gum nuts and flowering gums
Fields full of wild white lilies – I had no idea that these lilies grew wild. Sorry about overexposure.
Bottle brush with the most vibrant colours
A buddleia of sorts I think but if you were a butterfly wouldnt you get drunk on this one ?
The little pink fronds were luminescent in the light
