“Nature looks dead in winter because her life is gathered into her heart.
She withers the plant down to the root that she may grow up again fairer and stronger”
~ Hugh Macmillan
January Gold
Feeling the need for a breath of fresh air we took a wander along the George V Memorial Walk last week to see what, if anything, was in flower. One hundred photos proved there was a lot to love: not only flowers, but bright new foliage and sublime textures.
The header photograph is of a very pretty wattle which has fabulous almost triangular paired leaves, and really tiny flowers. I have often seen this interesting tree before, but never in flower and wondered what it was: a Gum? a Wattle? This week it was flowering beautifully – a golden cloud arching over the track and I think it is Acacia pravissima / Wedge-Leaved Wattle

Its been a while since I caught up with your posts Jude. I do love the first flower pink and yellow go extremely well together. Even though being home is the right move, we do miss being back in the UK!! Yes, I know its winter, but still 🙂
Its been a while since I caught up with your posts Jude. I do love the first flower pink and yellow go extremely well together. Lovely photos as usual!
That first flower comes from eastern Australia!!
Glad you are enjoying the posts Suzanne 🙂
No wonder I like it 🙂
A very cheering brightness!
Definitely cheered me up!
I love this! Yellow is such a cheerful colour. 🙂
AND very welcome in January!
Oh, these are all lovely. Enjoyed them as I look out the window at melting snow. 😉
A cheery colour for mid-winter.
