I'm always sad for bought roses that never open up and develop that gorgeous scent of the ones from the garden. Roses were my mum's favourite flower!

How lovely that the countryside is green again.<br /><br />As for flowers I have a soft spot for pansies. My nana had a magically green thumb and grew them for me, but her orchids were the truly spectacular part of her garden. I know it's boring but I love Christina Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11408660886747542063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-10814182412775865112012-11-11T10:40:24.226-08:002012-11-11T10:40:24.226-08:00Kathleen, I hope you make it down here.

WA is famous for its wildflowers - it's the most biodiverse region on the planet, partly because the soils are so poor and the conditions are so harsh. There needs to be micro levels of evolution for stuff to survive even within a small patch of Anna Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06695579361323275316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-58211119749045834712012-11-11T10:38:52.061-08:002012-11-11T10:38:52.061-08:00Lory, what lovely memories of the sunflowers.

Such a contrast to my last visit when it was all rather sad. Oh, how lovely that irises are one of your favorites. I must say I love all those old-fashioned flowers.

I hope one day to visit them in Australia. It is at the top of my bucket list of places to visit. <br />I envy you your Spring, as we are just going into the cold winter months here in Canada... <br />My fav flowers are Carnations, Roses and Hibiscus.

They remind me of my childhood, they we're about my size and planted outside our house and people that are passing by would always stop to look at them and often times ask for some seeds or flowers. We, together with my brothers and sisters would eat some of those seeds too. :DLory Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11327942924618287215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-33753106085716262882012-11-11T04:00:34.883-08:002012-11-11T04:00:34.883-08:00Lovely Pic Anna :)

I also love Irises--they have sentimental meaning for me because they were our wedding flowers. In fact our bedroom is decorated with iris print curtains and iris paintings!<br /><br />You took some lovely photos on your trip!Kandy Shepherdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16992773219169379298noreply@blogger.com
