Wattle time
It's so pretty but the allergies that come with it! The allergy
specialists here say that you can't be allergic to wattle but if you saw
the cloud of pollen around the trees you'd have to wonder at the logic
of their argument.

They are lovely. The leaves are completely different to wattles in the Pilbara.

In my yard I have about 5 different types of wattle. They flower at all different times of the year but the bulk are usually around August/September. I think this one is flowering early. The leaves make a great natural dye for wool and leave the house smelling beautiful- a bit like apples.
Some of my spring flowers are almost in bloom already- 3 months early. The friesias are budding already- I just hope I don't lose them in the next frost.

jesson, it's so backwards weather for me, and on top of it you're saying it's confused...so I am absolutely confused. I would love a flower that smells like apples.
Hope the eyes dry up.

I used to put huge sprays of wattle in a vase on my kitchen table in winter. Lovely. The grey-leaved is one of my favourite varieties.
Nice shot.
