But we will start in the city with flowers and bees in the small city orchard. A riot of colour, of beauty.
Borage

Borage and bees

more flowering herbs: yarrow and tansy

& I know this is a herb, but can I think of the name? No 😀

A sort of poppy (though it’s probably not)

and in a brighter orange variety – a bee burrows for the rich nectar & pollen

Action shot!

Paper daisies, eternally cheerful

a solitary blossom in a courtyard

This should be up with the herbs: valerian flowers:


and to my delight – a cornflower. That blue is just lovely.

one of these is a marigold, and the other – pretty but unknown.

Kangaroo paw en masse:

and these were my delight – when I was a child, we had yellow ones in our garden and called them ‘granny’s bonnets’. They are columbines 🙂



In MtLawleyShire itself, there are still bottlebrush flowers. I love the pink variety. So delicate:


some flowers seen in a verge garden:

the stunning architecture of a dandelion seed head:

the heavily perfumed flowers of the rainforest tree – they are street trees and I walk through perfumed air sometimes

roses in one of the gardens I walk past:




and a bee on a clump of roadside lavender

but here – this is the prettiest flower of them all 🙂
