Orchids
Completely unexpected at this time of the year, these orchids, new to our collection, bloomed quietly in the background.
So I’m entering them in Cee’s FOTD.
Lemon myrtle
Variegated begonia
For Cee’s FOTD
Kalamata kind
And what a bumper crop of olives I’ll have, if this is the blossom.
They’re for Becky’s squares and Cee’s FOTD.
Calendula
for Cee’s FOTD
Everlasting daisy
For Cee’s FOTD
Sturt Desert pea
It’s such a striking flower and always stands out against the sand of Central Australia, whatever the colour. It is the floral emblem of South Australia, but I have definitely seen more of them in the Northern Territory and few in Western Australia.
From above, you can see that the flower is like a crown of florets.
And when still quite young, the flower is almost completely red, with no black boss in the centre.
They’re for Cee’s FOTD.
Double gerbera
For Cee’s FOTD.
Wildflowers of the arid lands
We’re traveling from the Centre of Australia to the south, through arid lands.
I haven’t found their names, yet, as WiFi is intermittent, but wanted to share them for Cee’s FOTD.
