Freesias  by onewing

Freesias

As you know I don't very often take photos of flowers but on our walk with the walking group last Thursday there were so many flowers growing wild in the bushland.

I was surprised to spot this little clump of freesias growing wild. The scent of these gorgeous flowers was the first inkling that they were there.

I had to take this photo because freesias were my Mum's favourite flowers and they remind me of her.

Also, it brought back memories of our time living in Cyprus. I was surprised to see so many freesias growing wild in the bushland at the back of our house at Akrotiri.

Lots of memories on this particular walk last week.
Lovely where they pop up

I love them, especially the fragrance. Beautifully captured.

Beautiful. My freesias seem to have stopped sprouting. I originally planted the bulbs at least 10 years ago so I guess they have a limited lifespan. I don't recall ever having white flowers though, mine were predominantly yellow and purple.

I was about to write 'my mum's favourite flowers' when I read they were your mum's too'. The scent is divine and wonderful to find them growing wild.

@salza pity yours have stopped flowering.
@casablanca my sister had freesias in her wedding bouquet too
@quietpurplehaze I was surprised to see them in the bushland and they weren't easy to spot. As I said I picked up their scent before I actually saw them
