Wild (flowers) - 20

Spring Gully conservation park near Clare - South Australia

This is the spot we were in (see entry 19) looking towards that view
(or one similar) with wildflowers at our feet (actually a noxious
weed called "cape tulip" by the locals)


and at another spot, all this "Salvation Jane" in flower


Dick and I saw 3 kangaroos as we drove back to where we were staying for the weekend

what a very pretty view.

All great, very Australian shots. I believe there is a biological control for Pattinson's Curse (as we know it!) now. Warrumbungles are full of it ....

Beautiful wildness!!

Super set of landscapes, not just the flowers are wild, it seems that the wildness goes on for miles (I guess it actually does).

Gorgeous shot(s) Yvonne - looks like your spring is really coming on! Warm, sunny and everything beginning to grow again...lovely!

Three great images of your beautiful countryside. Looks so peaceful and unspoiled.

Quite the beautiful scene! I love "wild" flowers. You've captured them wonderfully.

Hahaha...Stephanie thinks they're cute & cuddly...you & I know this is not so :))

Patterson's Curse is bad enough, but those cape Tulips could be as bad !!

Great "wild" images! 3 kangas - eh? You are so lucky to have cute and cuddly (????) animals down under! :-)))

A gorgeous series. Beautiful.

Yes they are South African natives. We suffer from them by the millions too.
A fine view from there though.
