This is the ‘long list’ for a potential 2017 Wildflower Calendar. They are pictures from suburban Perth, in conservation areas, parks and verge gardens. They are all native wildflowers and I am going to have a hard time choosing!
I have no doubt forgotten some, but it is primarily from these I will choose 12 – or 14 (counting the cover). aren’t I going to have fun!

All beautiful, the orchids, particularly my favourite, the pink fairy, stand out for me. Well done😎🌻

It’s a pink fairy? Oh wow! I only recognized it as an archid as I was going through the photos for this list. It’s from Kings Park so next year – I must remember. There were a few photos of that flower but it was a windy day and none turned out all that well. Thank you 🙂

I was poised to write my response when I saw the comment from KDKH, and that made me pause. I DO like the idea of doing honour to one blossom – I think there is a particular attraction generated by shots of that kind. But the colour-splash from the large bouquets would look spectacular on someone’s wall (where a calendar would presumably be placed) … so, as you’ve said, you’re in for a hard (but pleasurable) time making your selection!

Oh yeah! And then there’s the hundreds that didn’t make the long list!

They are all beautiful! I would also have a hard time choosing. Personally, I prefer pictures that honor one blossom -feeling a bit overwhelmed with the large bouquets. It is hard to appreciate them as easily as one blossom alone. Good luck with your selection process!!

and there were so many to choose from let alone this shortened long list! And yes, they are beautiful. If I can afford to make a calendar this year, I will have a hard time choosing! Thanks 🙂
