Gorgeous shots, Jill. I enjoy seeing different flowers from all over the globe. I really like the Dryandra with it's yellow threads and loose structure, although it does look like it has a permanent bad haie day.

thanks everyone for your comments. I am glad you enjoyed the photos. Wildflower photography really is a passion for me - and I am in the perfect place to indulge - I am amassing quite a collection. What to do with them all is the question?
