Golden Wattle


This time of year is the perfect season to see masses of blooms of the golden wattle, the National Floral Emblem of Australia. Add to that perfect weather and what more could you want? Hope your week is full of sunshine.

Oh wow, Acacia retinoides (I hope) I love the stature and scent of this acacia which grew beautifully for three years in my garden before heavy winter snowed finished it off. LOvely picture Al.

They sell it here in Feb and it really threw me the first time I saw it. Is that? Could it be? Wow. Doesn't last very long off the tree unfortunately.

And, don't the wattles smell like heaven on earth? (As long as you're not allergic to them.)
