MY WORLD ~ The Grampians, mainly Flora

All photos enlarge with a simple click.

The only reasonable shot I managed of this Corella,
note the extra long beak, the main difference between
him and his smaller cousin, the Little Corella which
has a short beak and is generally smaller.



Anyone for a fried egg?



Half inch long blue bells dancing in the breeze.



The stars of heaven have drifted down to earth.



Bouquet of gold on impossible looking stony ground.



Little wildflowers anyone would be proud of in their garden.



Bright orange glowing on this dark and rainy day,



and a three foot high bush of Rice Flowers.



There were dozens of wildflowers still in bloom.
The Grampians are a great drawcard in the springtime
for their veriety of wildflowers, koalas, kangaroos and
prolific bird life.

Thanks to the MY WORLD team, we can learn so much about our world.

  1. These are so lovely Arija; I am sitting in a dark, chilly, rainy day and looking at the flowers and colors brings great light to this wet Indiana Autumn. (I would prefer snow....)
    Absolutely delightful!

    XXOO!!

  2. Beautiful shots, as always, Arija. That flower does look so much like an over easy egg!

  3. Amazing variety of flowers and sprectrum of colors. I truly believe that some people were born to be gardeners. Everything they touch bloom and grow. Uou are just like what my mother did and my sisters do now, giving life and colors through their garden. Mine, I am content with the plants not wilting or withering but there was a year when my garden bloomed and the leaves were gigantic. I love leaves more than flowers sometimes. I love the green color of plants.

  9. My favourite photo is of those beautiful blue bells - they are rather like our harebell but have longer stems. Lovely photos. All our flowers have gone to bed for the winter here - now we wait for the snowdrops in January.

  13. We used to have some of your fried egg plant in our garden. Of course, flowers that grow wild in your part of the world have to be cultivated here. It's lovely seeing them in their natural habitat.

  30. Ah, what lovely signs of spring.. you lucky thing!

  31. Wow, an fried egg flower!!! Beautiful captures.
    Thanks for visiting me. The main trouble with all our national commemorative days is they're always about suffering, sadness... etc. There's too much focus on the ones who done us wrong... Even on Independence Day that should be a joyful occasion.

  32. What wonderful taste of Spring!
    The fried egg elicited a smile, as delicious and appetizing looking indeed.

    Grey foggy November afternoon here. I noticed that overnight most of the golden leaves of the tree in front of my window have disappeared. Suddenly we are sliding into winter, I am afraid.

    A glorious springtime to you! :-)

  33. Your wildflower are all very pretty, so fragile and delicate. I can almost feel the blossoms' delightful scent in the air of my cloudy, autumnal world. This little fried egg flower is new for me, so thanks for sharing.
    Thanks for your visit and kind words too.

  34. Wonderful, Arija! It's great to know that spring is on its way at the other side of the world. A promise to us at a time that the evening starts early and the wind is blowing around the house.

  35. I love the white wildflowers. The egg, oh my goodness, I love it.

    I laughed at the spanish inquisition. har har.

    That generation was way off. Talk about unequal rights.

    Love Renee xoxo
