Although I probably feel more comfortable temperature-wise in winter, I do love spring when the new leaves appear on the trees; the fruit trees are in blossom and there are so many beautiful flowers are to be seen everywhere.
In Western Australia we have some magnificent wildflowers and spring is the season when tourists travel here just to see these flowers. I want to share some pictures of some of our wildflowers and apologise for not knowing all their names. You will recognise kangaroo paws, blue lechenaultia, bottle brush etc., but perhaps names are not needed so just enjoy the beauty and variety.
Red and green kangaroo paw
Spider orchid
Fringed lily (I think)
Geraldton wax
Painted lady (perhaps)
Everlastings
One of the pea flowers
Donkey orchids
Banksia
Enamel orchid
There are so many hundreds Western Australian wildflowers and I have chosen just a few of my favourites. There is an excellent website that shows beautiful pictures of wildflowers from different areas of Western Australia. It is well worth a visit if you have an interest in flowers.
