Spring time in Sydney is one of the times when our native flowers really show off.

 

I wish I knew the names of all the different types of Grevillea's, but I dont!

The pink ones above and below are obviously of the Spider variety.

 

 

 

Below is a cultivar called Misty Pink (don't you love google!)

 

 

 

 

 

I love how the Eucalyptus leaves change colour.

My understanding is that this can happen at any time of the year and is simply a renewal process like decidious trees go through in the autumn.

 

 

And it wouldn't be Spring in Sydney without wattle (acacia).

I was pretty pleased with myself for capturing this shot of a bee in action!

His little bottom was quivering with delight. And when he finally came up for air, he looked around drunkenly before stumbling onto the next flower.
