AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Gentle fairy hands

Love those (for me that is) exotic flowers. Tried to grow some aussie plants from seeds but the only survivor so far is a Kangaroo Paw. I do have another small plant and I'm hoping it is a gum tree (snow gum) but so far its so very very tiny. I keep my fingers crossed for it. thanks for comment on my Macro!

Beautiful presentation of a beautiful flower!

These are beautiful. Is that what they are really called? Regardless, I can imagine the curls as being fairy fingers.

Great macros.
