Winter Flora in My Garden

oldmangrumpy · **Posted:** Wed Jun 21, 2017 11:44 pm **(#1)**

Took some garden photos today; mid winter and shortest day of the year - just love those Aussie native plants that keep flowering through winter. I know that people like to play with Issabella's snaps so feel free to do so with these.

Made an e-map from your banksia photo.

Wallace - thanks for the heads up; I never thought of turning them into e-maps previously, but they do produce interesting results

Here is one using an e-map from the grevillea2 photo.

Racer-x and Photomaster - I am pleased that you like the flowers; these ones come from small to medium (say maximum 1 metre) size shrubs. Aussie native plants have a lot to offer any gardener and best of all they can take the heat and do not need as much water

EDIT: Thought I might throw in a couple more -

grevillea misty pink

Lovely flowers in your garden, OMG. It's sure you love your garden and plants and flowers are happy in it. :tyspin

I wanted to add my humble contributions, too.

I applied two different Dinasset scripts.
