Tassie wildflowers

Scaporia. (Cruel and spikey)!





Native Boronia.



Some variety of Mirtle or Beech I suspect.



Tasmanian Waratah.

Lovely images Greg.

Don't get much in the way of wildflowers up this way. Lots of green during the wet season then everything slowly dies during the dry and turns kinda crispy brown.

Thanks Mick. I had visions of flowers breaking out all over after the wet, that's what I see on telly anyway. Never been to your part of Aus. Cheers.

Must have missed this post. The waratah looks more open than others I've seen. We don't get much in the way of wildflowers up here - or maybe the cattle just eat them all.

The Tassie Waratah is not as heavy in the flower as the mainland varieties. Quite delicate and in this case later than the ones at a lower altitude. I normally see them in bloom Aug./ Sept.

I wouldn't have known it was a Tassie Waratah if you didn't name it ... interesting. A great bunch of photos to educate us mainlanders Scaporia look interesting.
