October 22 and 24 Flowers galore plus!

Here are just a few of the lovely things that have caught our eyes and imagination. Browse and enjoy. 



Pimelea sp?

Common Appleberry - we have two of these in our garden. I wonder how they’ve survived. 





Tiger orchid

One of the many bushes with pea-shaped flowers. It’s a common design. 



I love the laciness of this flower. So intricate it could keep you looking for a long time. 

I like watching the bugs enjoy the flowers. 

This triptych shows the advance in age of these flowers. Fascinating. 

Dwarf purple flag. 

Fringed lilies are a favourite of mine and we saw a few different species in various colours from almost white through pale mauve to purple. 



Native cornflower - Thysanotus dichotomous

Don’t know it’s name but it looked like a wee meringue; there were smaller ones scattered around 
One of the secrets to identifying fungi species is the stripe and what’s underneath. 

Liverworts are relatively unknown territory for me but 
I like them. This one is a Marchantia with Gemma cups. These little cups contain gemnae which are a small group of cells that give rise to vegetative reproduction in some liverworts and mosses. The gemnae are splashed out or dislodged by raindrops to give rise to new liverworts.
