I've been away in Tasmania which is why I've not posted anything for a while. Still sorting out photos and recovering from a cold since I returned.
This very pretty flower is called guara and is also known as the butterfly bush, so became a candidate for my Animal Crackers thread (although I've posted about it before but didn't know about that nickname then). I have turned the photo on the right upside down which I think shows exactly why it earned the nickname.
All the examples in my area are very scrappy at the moment so when I saw this glorious example in Hobart, I couldn't help but take a snap for the blog. Imagine the flowers fluttering in a breeze like it's covered in butterflies.
Magnificent Sandy! Close up of the bee is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks Liana glad you liked it. I didn't even know the bee was there until I got it up on the computer. :)
DeleteBeautifully done Sandy! x
ReplyDeleteFangs sister dear.
ReplyDeleteI hope that as soon as we get flowers the bees will come.
ReplyDeletemayB Badger! Good luck with that garden of yours. Thanks for visiting
ReplyDeleteI used to have one of those in the garden but it seems to have disappeared, they are very pretty when they flower. x
ReplyDeleteYes, they are beautiful. Wondered if the differing colours depended on the soil. There are some very dark pink ones here. Thanks for visiting
