Each time I go out for a bush walk this time of the year I wonder which treasures nature keeps in store for us to discover. Because of the warm spring weather many plants and animals undergo a transformation; the flowering of the Moodjar or Christmas Tree indicates that hot weather is already underway, but before the season of Birak brings the wildflower season to an end the incredibly beautiful Myrtle flowers show off their purple splendour. And although both the Graceful and Rough Honeymyrtle (Melaleuca radula and Melaleuca parviceps) are most common it is the ostentatious Pink Flowered Myrtle or Kudjid (Hypocalymma angustifolium) that steals the show.

Myrtle flowers of the Darling Scarp
Beautiful image, Maurice 🙂
Incredible colours and this flower is something I haven’t seen before…
Thank you Sreejith 🙂 these are the same warm colours I see so often in your photos – I love them!
Such beauty, and the fine detail you managed to capture in your photo shows just how talented a photographer you are, Maurice!
it is a very beautiful flower indeed and I was lucky to go out late afternoon when most of the harsh and bright light had gone. To call me talented is very flattering but alas, I take it 😉
As well you should!
Beautiful flowers! Keep ’em coming… it’s going to be a long winter here!
I do have some more Terry, I fact, I could go on as long as your winter lasts!
A stunning shot of a gorgeous flower.
Thank you Sue!
