Cee’s Midweek Madness Challenge February: Close Up or Macro
How I came about these selections. I download all my photos into a misc folder by date order. This morning I randomly picked a sub-folder date 30August 2020 (yes I am that behind in sorting photos) which luckily had the following photos from around my place.
The fruit from an Ink Plant, an introduced exotic plant from tropical America, and yes they did make ink from this plant

An Erect Guinea flower, 12 to24mm across, grows well on my place

A Yamba Sunshine Grevillea flower in my garden

So many flowers on the Lomandra Multiflora gives a tiny Stingless Native Bee lots of choices

Called an Australian Bluebell or Wahlenbergia sp, I find these little flowers all over my property

I think this is a Hovea of some species

Lovely.

It does at times. I am yet to do a wander as it’s hot in the day and every afternoon there has been storms like the black clouds building now 🙂

yes, but I’d imagine soon that oppressive heat and arvo storms will ease … then you can update your snaps 🙂

It’s great to see flowers outside since we are now in the depths of winter. It hasn’t been terribly cold, but we are getting an arctic blast over the weekend which will be gone by Monday. Still, nothing is growing yet, so anything that flowers is doing it indoors. You do seem to have an amazing garden!

Thanks Marilyn. Most of these are flowers growing in the bush around my place 🙂

We used to get more wildflowers, but after the long summer drought, the deer ate everything. I’m hoping we got enough seeds for them to start anew. The BEST wildflowers are along the rivers.

I love the Grevillea, Brian. I thought the yellow flower looked like our small yellow cistus, and that’s a very good argument for not even trying to sort my photos. Is it any wonder I don’t do challenges 🤪❣️
