Almost counterintuitively (for an ex-Brit, anyway) winter is a time of flowering for many native plant species.  Sue and Marchelle went on a walk last week, which even though very close to Blaxland/Mount Riverview was through some beautiful country with lovely flowers.

 

This is the lookout which they walked to, with views over the Nepean region.

– “The Nepean Lakes.”

Below are some of the beautiful flows/shrubs/bushes which they found.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I must admit to not thinking of the spring flowers in Australia, but this is the equivalent, I believe, and very beautiful, too.
