Description
Some beauty from my winter garden. The bumper crop of lemons are just starting to ripen and one of the few plants flowering at the moment is the Australian native Banksia.
There are 173 Banksia species, and all but one occur naturally only in Australia. Banksias were named after Sir Joseph Banks (1743-1820 ), who, in 1770, was the first European to collect specimens of these plants.

I adore this photograph Linda! Love the aloofness and softness created, (on the exception of a few lemons, which adds to the balance of the composition). A real beautiful and inviting mood here. I can even smell the lemons! vf mm

Thank you Connie, I appreciate your lovely comments. Australia has some very interesting plants, a lot that you would not call "pretty" but quite stunning just the same.
