A couple of photos of Aussie native plants from the garden this morning. The yellow one is a tall Anigozanthos (Kangaroo Paw) and the orange one, up about 4 metres high, is a Corymbia just starting to show its beauty with loads more buds ready to open over the next few days. That will end up being a 4 metre spread of orange.

Wired day here, no sun and a white sky. Orange being the colour of the moment here are photos of orange kangaroo paw and a bromeliad.

I know these florals aren't strange to you, but these florals are so beautiful and strange to me. You folk down under has such interesing floral and fauna. I suppose you might think the same towards us uplanders. lol

Teapot - thank you.

OK, some days of rain and mottled sun have convinced a number of shrubs/trees to flower, so just one more pic for Spring and this one especially for Lyle!! Grevillea Moonlight with its creamy whit flowers, some 18 centimetres long and up there around 3 to 4 metres high.

Last couple of days here in central Australia were nice but last night and today we had strong winds, thunderstorm for 4-6 hours straight then heavy rain. Almost like we are back to Winter again as it is so cold today.
