Wattle time here in Tasmania. I do love to see wattle flowers, they stand out amid the green trees in the paddocks and our bush.
We went last weekend to where I usually take photos of wattle but unfortunately the trees had been removed so I had to find another place. Some of the wattle was out and some not.
Very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt's sure is Anne.
DeleteOmg, wattle season looks so pretty. I love how the yellow pops against all the green it must make for such a cheerful view. Sad about your usual spot, but glad you still found some gorgeous flowers to photograph.
ReplyDeleteWattle is always good to see as it reminds me that winter is nearly passed and spring is about to come.
DeleteAbsolutely stunning, Margaret! I love the green, yellow and details! Thank you so much for sharing, dear friend.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome Linda.
DeleteThey look very beautiful. Your climate must be warm even though it is winter at your place, Margaret.
ReplyDeleteThank you Marit. Yes it's certainly warmer compared to where you live. Mostly the temperature is around 9 to 17 deg C in winter during the daytime, however, we find it rather cold at times..lol.
DeleteVery pretty, they look awesome.
ReplyDeleteThank you Bill, such a pretty flower and several varities.
DeleteOur wattles are starting to blaze too. Aren't they cheery and lovely?
ReplyDeleteOh yes, EC, the yellow sure brightens up the place and reminds us spring is on it's way :)
DeleteEven with the loss of your usual spot, it must have been uplifting to find new bursts of golden wattle brightening the landscape
ReplyDeleteOh yes it was good to find another spot, and they are not hard to find but don't always have different varieties.
DeleteHello Margaret,
ReplyDeleteThat is a special kind of flower. Great to see them at this moment.
They are looking wonderful. Nice pictures of it.
Many greetings,
Marco
Thank you Marco. Wattles are indigenous to Australia with about 1,000 species..
DeleteOh que lindo. Te deseo una buena semana.
ReplyDeleteThank you J.P.
DeleteThe wattle is not out here yet.
ReplyDeleteOn the weekend I went to the beach and the breakers were tossing
the board riders all over the place. Beats me how the young bucks can
stand up. Boards to the left - riders to the right!!! Ouch!
Lovely an sunny here but at 9.00am no heat yet!
Cheers
Colin
Well it will be out soon and so will spring as it's only around the corner now.
DeleteYou are knowledgeable regarding the surf!
Sunny this morning and cloudy this afternoon.
I can't believe it's that time again!
ReplyDeleteThey look beautiful.
All the best Jan
Thank you, Jan. Time sure flies.
DeleteDaffodils and wattle blooming are signs that spring is close by. I haven't seen a wattle in full bloom yet this year. I think I need to leave the city.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, not long to spring, Andrew. I guess you do need to go country to find wattle as it's not a great tree to have in the backyard. We used to have one in our backyard, but it split in two all by itself.
DeleteThey are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteLovely 👌
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteWhat a beautiful flower this is, Margaret.
ReplyDeleteI wish you a lovely week.
Greetings Irma
Thank Irma. A native is that flower, always good to see it blooming this time of year.
DeleteHappy wattle watching--- and I like the three meerkats!
ReplyDeleteThanks, and I will be watching! Ah! The meerkats, fascinating creatures.
DeleteThanks for sharing this lovely glimpse of wattle time in Tasmania. It's so nice to hear about the landscape changing with the seasons.
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame that your usual spot for photos was gone, but it's great that you were able to find another place to capture them. Hopefully, you'll be able to get some great photos as more of the wattle blooms!
I some how think the wattle will be in full bloom from now on till September, Benita.
DeleteGreat article and beautiful pic. Success for your blog ok
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteWattles always seem so emblematic of Australia and I enjoy them every chance I get! Mostly in pictures, unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteOne of Australia's flowers, David and always a pleasure to see.
DeleteOne day you might get here again but it is so far away.
Thanks for introducing these flowers!
ReplyDeleteThis is my first time seeing these flowers!!
You are welcome Katerinas. Just imagine see lots of trees and amongst them this lovely bright flower of yellow amid the green of the trees - very pretty.
DeleteBeautiful flowers. A single burst of yellow blossoms.
ReplyDeleteI wish you much joy and thank you for your photos.
Viola
You are welcome, Viola and thank you.
DeleteA very pretty round of photos! Well done, you. So fun to do this. So fun.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteI do like the look of wattle
ReplyDeleteMe too Jo-Anne.
DeleteHow pretty. I love the pictures.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mary.
DeleteI don't think I've seen those either .... perhaps not as common in England?
ReplyDeleteThey look like little suns glowing on trees. :)
It wouldn't be as common in England, Liam .
DeleteI found this on the interent:
Yes, wattle (Acacia) grows in England, having been introduced to the country shortly after the British settlement of Australia in 1788 and becoming a popular ornamental garden plant. Some species are hardy enough to grow in the UK's milder coastal areas, such as the silver wattle (Acacia dealbata) and the golden wreath wattle (Acacia saligna), though the latter is listed as an invasive species in the UK.
So pretty.
ReplyDeleteIt sure is Hena.
DeleteSo beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteWattle is dense and richly coloured, such that your photos look terrific. But I wonder if people are growing it less often these days, at least in Victoria.
ReplyDeleteWe used to have a wattle growing in our backyard along with a gumtree, however the wattle split in two!
DeleteI believe that as the bush is being cleared for housing, especially in the larger cities so hence no wattle. People's backyards are not big enough either they days as the houses go from fence to fence, Hels.
Your wattle flowers are absolutely gorgeous Margaret! They certainly brightened up my day. Thank you! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Denise, and you are welcome.
DeleteGorgeous! I've never seen them.
ReplyDeleteThank you. The colour sure does show in our bush.
DeleteBellas composiciones de flores, amiga.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteWaddle flowers? That is a new one to me. Very beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWattle tree/flowers - native to Australia.
DeleteSon preciosas y huelen muy bien. Besos.
ReplyDeleteThank you Teresa. Very pretty amongst the green.
DeleteWow the wattle is beautiful there. We have lots here too.
ReplyDeleteIt is pretty no matter where it is, Diane. Always something in flower somewhere.
DeleteBeautiful photos of the acacia trees. It's a pleasure to see them blooming and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend.
Best regards.
Thank you.
DeleteSame to you too.
Beautiful! Such a lovely colour :)
ReplyDeleteIt sure is a beautiful colour Nikki.
DeleteWattle flowers are wonderful. They always remind me of my childhood at my grandfather's house, he had some, and I always loved his flowers.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos ❤️
Nice memory then Maria.
DeleteThank you.
Beautiful photos! Greetings from Finland, Europe
