Wild flowers of WA

 Seeing as it  is such is "shitty " day I thought it was the ideal opportunity to catch up on my blogs. It is rather windy not quite blowing a gale and raining so nobody is out and about much. Often when we are stuck inside due to bad weather I don;t have Internet so it's a bonus at present.

 This blog is mainly about the lovely wildflowers we have seen on this trip. Unfortunately we don't have the names for many of these beautiful flowers.

 We started seeing them in the north of the state where Mulla Mullas and Sturt's desert peas were quite common and as we moved further south the variety just kept getting better and better. Mind you it was certainly the season for them.

 We had a very memorable camp at Tenindewa where we seemed to be in the middle of lots them and from there we were able to go to Pindar where there were plenty of wreath flowers this year.

  When we got to the "farm sit" at Dongara there were plenty of wildflowers on the property , big showy Grevillias and tiny little orchids  as well as lots of wattle and Banksias which the farm was named after. Banksia Dale Farm.

 We saw many more wildflowers and I took lots of photos but it would be boring if a whole blog was taken up with then so this is just a few of the more showy ones we saw. We also went to the  Wildflower show in Mullewa  and the big displays there were quite good but the specimens  weren't well marked with their names.
