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.
Kalamata kind
Category: 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.
Desert honey grevillea
The first nation’s women of the central desert region dip these flowers in water and then drink it for a boost in the hot months.
Dripping with nectar for Cee’s FOTD.
Waterlily
From Mulbabidgee for Cee’s FOTD.
Cat’s whiskers
For Cee’s FOTD
Mangrove seedling
From Cape Tribulation, for Cee’s FOTD.
The shape of the flower/head on the seedling spear propels it through water and air – even up on to this walkway.
