just had to show you a pic of another type of Wattle I saw today. Had to stop the car and go back to snap it. There are over 1350 species of Acacia throughout the world and over 1000 are found in Australia! It makes such a beautiful golden display and the trees grow wild through bushland and in gardens everywhere.
@gigiflower we certainly are Sam. I still have a drawing and poem I wrote about the wattle when I was very young. It has always been my favourite. Luckily I am not allergic to it!
Rich colours! Very pretty.
thanks everyone. glad you liked it. I am keeping my eyes peeled for some other varieties of this beautiful native flower.
