Boronia

This is one of my favourite flowers - Brown Boronia (Boronia megastigma). It is a small shrub with tiny flowers and it is the beautiful fragrance that I love. I get one new plant every year, enjoy its fragrance for about three weeks, then they always seem to die… Never mind, as far as I am concerned, flowers with scent are the only ones worth having! I wish I could send you the beautiful fragrance as well.

@deliad Pop into Mitre 10 - that's where I got mine - you can usually smell them from way down the aisle if they've got any!

[Dianne]

@yaorenliu Most nurseries have them in at the moment - Mitre 10 probably has - just go and smell them, they are gorgeous.

[Lovise Meltzer Rygh]

Nice capture. Interesting-looking flower :)

[Dianne]

@fishers There is also a pink boronia, with hardly any scent - if you have seen the brown one, you would remember the scent as it is divine.

Clever collage. This one has such an amazing perfume. Tricky to grow though - I grew one successfully in Wellington (they like the dry air) which lasted for 3 years, but they are short lived.

[Pyrrhula]

A great shot of this lovely flower. Love the insert and the close up.
Thank you for you visits and nice comments. Appreciate it very much.

[Paula W]

Really effective presentation Dianne, the little individual flowers are so unusual and pretty.

[Tony]

Love the capture and the superimposed detail shot. Clever !! Fav

[Dione Giorgio]

Very nice capture. The flowers aren't very attractive. Although I prefer to see colour on flowers, the scent should be enjoyable.

Like you I just love boronia, but mine never survive past Year 1 either. Great shot, love the way you've inset a detailed shot of the flowers.
