These photos are wonderful! I couldn’t be more excited if I were at a haute couture designers show in Paris! Spring’s parade of beautiful creations! Thanks so much for sharing!
This is just the start! I have photos of unidentified peas, guinea flower, tea tree, goodenia, rice flowers – and more. Hopefully I can get some of these up on the blog in the next week or two. I love this time of year too!
I’m so envious! We (in the Northern Hemisphere..) are moving into winter. 😦
I look forward to seeing more of your springtime discoveries!
Thanks for that spring gallery. It’s helped me name a couple of flowers at our place.
Oh good! I’m pleased- it always helps to know what each of the plants are. Which region are you in? Lisa
Hello Lisa we are Southern Tablelands NSW. Helen.
Ah- thanks Helen. when I read through field guides I often come across species of orchids which say ‘endemic to Southern NSW – you must have some beautiful flowers now too! Thanks for replying. Lisa
Gorgeous!!! Love the waxlip orchid.
Yes, I love them too. Unfortunately they didn’t last long this season – it was too dry. We had a very low-rainfall Spring. Thanks for commenting! 🙂 Lisa
