Western Australia has seen the best spring wildflower season in many years. I managed to get out into wildflower country a few times and it was well worth it, but I still have to learn some of the names! It’s something my late husband and I enjoyed doing together and I still love going for long drives in the beautiful countryside.
These are some of my favourite wildflower photos.

I’ve entered the one below in a Wildflower Photo Competition. There are some really beautiful photo entries but if you like mine, please vote for it at Australia’s Golden Outback.

Loved your photo Christina, it got my vote! It’s strange but this year (after 13 years) I really got into the wildflowers! Mez and I camped at wogoona hills, walked at noble falls and visited king’s park. Maybe it’s because I normally miss it, as usually I’m in the uk at this time. Or maybe it’s taken me 13 years to stop comparing it to flowers in England! Whatever it is, I thought the flowers were beautiful. Strangely the ones closest to home, in star swamp, were the best!

Thanks Anne, I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the wildflowers too! I’m blown away at the incredible flowers that grow in remote and otherwise dry countryside, and the colour everywhere.
