WILD FLOWERS WEST AUST SEPT 2011


WA wildflowers - photos taken in spring - about 300 Ks north of Perth - Morawa, Perenjori and Wubin


                       Everlatings - so called because they become papery when dried and make good floral   arrangements


Donkey Orchids





                                                  Close up of Wreath Leschenaultia

                                                          Wreath Leschaultia

                  Wreath Leschenaultia - they grow well by the roadside where the soil's been disturbed

                                                                         close up   

Everlastings
 











                            
                           Many different flowering shrubs (that are dull for the rest of the year)

Spider Orchids

Perenjori Hotel - no other accommodation available, so we stayed in their $70 room...very hard to describe without risk of being sued by the owner...but at least there was cereal for breakfast


"Dining room" of the above - political correctness has (fortunately) not yet arrived in Perenjori
