Kennedia
one of my favourites, Eriostemon, also known as the Pink Wax Flower
Correa (Native Fuchsia) in late afternoon light
Hardenbergia also known as the Happy Wanderer. It is a petite flowering twining vine that attaches itself to other plants. Those serrated leaves in the background though, actually belong to another Australian native, Banksia
in the distance, National Parks had a 'controlled burn-off' happening
it was just a little early by probably a couple weeks only, to have missed out on all this area left and right, will now be covered in white ti-tree flowers
Cone Flower
this' the (serrated leaf) Banksia in flower; just one of numerous species
and the wonderful giant (Banksia) seed-pods that are left behind; quite impressive aren't they?

Very nice series of photos Carole, and I find the flowers picture 4 and 10 very beautiful. The mushroom or fungi from the last photo 12 isa very bijnder to see. Very nice set though.
ReplyDeleteHelma - there is language barrier happening here; the final photograph is of the lovely woody seed-pods from the Banksia plant image before it. Not fungi at all.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place. The seed-pods are wild looking. I have never seen anything like them.
ReplyDeleteGreat post!
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking us along on your walk. Super photos of the plant life!
I love the Banksia seed pods. Looks like a tree full of clams!
