Spring photos

calissaIt's no secret that September is a bit of a crazy month for me. So many birthdays! It also happens to be the month of ALL THE FLOWERS! I took a heap of photos and never quite got around to posting them. I thought I'd better do it before Spring officially ends (even though Spring unofficially ended a month or so ago).
Since there are so many photos, I thought I'd do them in two batches, starting with the natives.
The first sign that Spring has arrived (and that hay fever season is beginning) is the wattles flowering. Although native to Australia (I think), this particular species is considered an environmental weed locally. The photo was taken mid-August.
Also around this time, the Hardenbergia were coming into flower. I love these so much!
I was ecstatic to discover my almer mater had a white Hardenbergia on campus. It was the first time I'd seen any colour other than purple.
We have some grevilleas in the garden and their unusual shape is such a delight for macro photography. I was partly inspired by some ofmoonvoice's lovely photos.
We have another, somewhat different type of grevillea as well and it makes for rather different photos.
You can probably see from the photos it took some frost damage over the winter, but right now it is growing with a vengeance and is beginning to grow over our porch.
Hope that bring some colour to those of you battling with winter dreariness (or summer bleaching).
