Have not thought about taking photos of the garden for a few weeks. Sudden summer heat has finished some flowers and damaged others but there's always something flowering.

More Aussie natives. The kangaroo paws have just started to open though the buds are just as impressive.

Chrysocephalum apiculata is still covered with flowers and will be for much of the warmer months. This one suckers profusely to form dense patches - great for edges.

So many of the Aussie natives are unfamiliar to me. Thanks so much for sharing.

Psychopis Mendenhall 'Hildos' - butterfly orchid, flower stems produce one flower at a time for many years per flower stem. A "true everblooming orchid"

I don't own this particular plant, though I do have a small one from tissue culture of this plant. This is the award photo.
