Driving along the roads you miss all the beauty of the bushland. I have been wandering along and taken some photo's ....how beautiful the wattles are.....they just ask you to look at them...Haven't counted the number of varities growing out there...guess it would be at least 6. Some are very small and not as showy, others are breath taking...
Growing in the side cut, how tough this plant must be - eutaxia - flowers are brown and yellow a very small pea shape .... the foliage is spikey....guess that is to keep animals from eating the plant. Not a very good plant to get a picture....so small.
I love this clematis creeper -- old man's beard...we have them everywhere this year. They scamble up and over the bushland.
Isn't that a beautiful daisy flower, can't remember the name......
Hop bush, such a pretty plant,.....today was very windy and it was hard to get a photo.
Zygophyillum.......during the drought they seemed to be dead,....... with a little rain ......they are back as thick as they can be. Line the roadside for miles.
While I was wandering along ......went into the paddock.....and this is the barley......nearly out of the flag...soon it will be flowering...the crops all want another drop of rain.
What a wonderful place the Mallee is.......to some people it would just be Mallee trees, salt bush and weeds... ugh the weeds are everywhere.
If you look at the daisy bush pic,.....in the background the canola is flowering......This break crop is everywhere this year.......such a rich yellow......can see it for miles.....
The late Autumn and spring is flowering time.....plants go into survival mode during the hotter months of the year. So do I!!!
Hope you found the walk in the bush interesting.
Love to all.
take care, NANA ON THE FARM.
