Commonly known as Wattle, Acacia is the largest genus of vascular plants in Australia. In late Winter, wattles begin to bloom in Australia and they are seen as a harbinger of Spring.

ReplyDeleteHello Nick, I would love to see the wonderful things you share in person. However, I am doubtful we will ever go that far so keep posting the lovely things you share for Blue Monday.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining in the Blue Monday fun each week.

So much beauty and interesting things in your part of the world.
ReplyDeleteWithout knowing what Wattle was, I looked at the flowers, and reminded me so much on Mimosa! It pays to read, eh? Only twice, when living in Holland, I bought a bouguet (pricy, because they are imported from France) - here in California I haven't even seen them one time! Thanks so much for adding these these beautiful ones to SEASONS!
ReplyDeleteI love these blooms! They are so sunny and happy looking!
