Today has been very busy running around doing some hedging, mulching and tidying up after myself. Along the way, and in the past week, I saw some lovely flowers that I thought I would share.

Here are wattle flowers, mainly because they are so showy in a yellow sort of way, while also looking completely different to other flowers that I come across. They are also the best smelling flowers going!

Next up, we are going pretty in pink. These delightful flowers are from Japanese cherry, or Prunus serrulata. There are several of these trees dotted around the place and they look fantastic at this time of year.

At the swimming pool I go to, a grass tree (Xanthorrea spp.) has sent up a flower spike. At the time of taking the photo, the flowers themselves hadn’t appeared, but I’m hoping that next time I go they will be out doing their thing. Once the flowers are don’t, the tops turn brown.

Finally, as gymea lily flowers are a little strange and different to what we normally see as a flower, here is one I found last week.
