Yesterday we drove to Pindar ( Click on link to see the beautiful Guest house and read some history of the area ) .
After stopping there for coffee and scones we went off in search of the infamous “Wreath Flower” and we were not disappointed.
There were lots growing along both sides of the gravel road.
There were so many Wreath Flowers but there was also lots of other colour in the bush.
Heaps of these tiny little flowers that just looked like snow everywhere.
As well as HUGE ant nests. You would not want to step on one of these!!!
They did a great job of the cleaning up the dead snake.
On the way home Dh and I stopped at the flower show in one of the towns we drove through,
Not only did I learn the name of flowers but it was lovely to see some of the local ladies stitching in these wall hangings.
This one was knitted, except for the hills in the background, beautiful work. I loved them all.
So glad you found some wreath flowers. Were they sign posted or did you just come across them yourselves. So rare.
ReplyDeleteThose wreath flowers are amazing; I'd never heard of them before...I loved the flower photos and also the quilts/wallhangings. The knitted landscape was certainly something you don't see every day...very creative! Thank you for sharing all those lovely photos :-)
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing like th wildflowers of W.A. for spectacular beauty. The just carpet the red soil its a while since we were there but your flowers bought it all back never seen a wreath flower though, Thanks for the show.

ReplyDeleteHello Maria,
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness those wreath flowers are just perfect. Loved this post except for that reptile!!!You could/should have warned us that you were posting one of them, so glad it was being eaten by the ants.
Happy days.

ReplyDeleteThose are some big ant holes. :)
ReplyDeleteThe wreath flowers are gorgeous...never saw anything like that. Thanks for sharing such wonderful flowers with us in other countries.

What an excellent adventure, so many beautiful flowers. I love the wreath flower, the center of it reminds me of a sedum I have in the garden, but it sure doesn't flower like that!
ReplyDeleteThose wreath flowers are very cool. I enjoyed your post very much. So fun to see what grows in other countries.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen the wreath flowers before Lovely photos once again
ReplyDeleteThanks for the photos of the wildflowers, I "googled" Coal Seam with no luck then Murchison WA, how far from Geralton is it, we would love to plan a trip when in WA to see flowers, do you have to go that far from Perth.
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures of all the flowers in this post and part 1. The wreath flowers are very unusual. The scenic wall hangings look amazing. I thought your smiley face hexie flower was very cute.
ReplyDeleteWow Mum, Wouldn't you just love some of those flowers on the block.
ReplyDeleteThe field of everlastings just reminds me of Kambalda. :-)
Love DD2
