Most excellent!  Shall we meet the contestants?

AUTUMN & DEW –  rust-hued leaves on the Liquid Amber outside our houseyard catch some early sunshine before the dew dries.  Shot on a cool June morning this year.

CACTUS BLOOMS – the Prickly Pear which intermittently dot our landscape are not usually particularly eye-catching. However when they begin to bloom late each year, they can be strangely spectacular.

CAMOFLAGUE FLOWERS – absolutely one of my favourites.  See if you can spot the camoflagued insects along this spray of wild myrtle?  So delicate and sweet and unexpected.

CREEK BOTTLEBRUSH BLOOM – shot recently in our main creek, this was one of the first bottlerbush flowers I saw this year.  So many trees were washed away with the floods, but this one was celebraing having nice damp roots!

WATTLE AND DUST – so very representative of REAL bush colours, a wattle sends out it’s brilliant yellow blossom beside one of our many red dirt roads!

PURPLE BELLS – oh Jacarandas!  How I love the divine colour and sweet tiny bell shape of each jacaranda bloom – taken in the street of a local town which comes alive with purple once a year.

So there you go – enough of a floral tribute for you there?  You can vote for up to three of your favourites to help me choose this year’s Calendar blooms…
