Where the wild things are!

Flora - from the wilds!


This a collection of flowers and plants  I came across, in the wild, and have taken my eye over the last weeks. Maybe they are not that exciting as photos but something about the colours, shapes, their own particular personality and beauty of character appeals to me. Some of these are a little out of focus but that too seems to lend it's own appeal to the subject. The camera I am using is not so sophisticated and have no idea on the focal length so is a little hit and miss - but that is also part of the appeal for this camera I use. Anyway I hope you all enjoy.

    How gorgeous are your wild flowers Keith. I do recognise some of these flowers. Tell me if I am correct? I see lilly pilly maybe. Lantana, Maybe sheoak, and definitely grevillias. Is the pretty pink flower a type of bottle brush? Anyway they are so pretty and you have done well with your presentation here.

    pretty pink one is one of those that grows lateral the name kangaroo's paw comes to mind but maybe this is wrong. For the rest I am not sure on all of their names - is not my thing but the sheoak is right

    I really like the way your photographic eye can range from the panorama to the miniature with just as much care and appreciation of their respective beauty.

    Beautiful photos!

    The pink one with the yellow center does look like a lantana to me.

    Hi Amy - thanks for the comment - yes it is lantana - it is a noxious weed here but is often used to help re-growth of forests on cleared lands.

    I agree Sue they are glorious examples of Australian bush plants.
