Hi everyone, just a quick post from me today as I am getting ready for an Art market this weekend.
I have always said that there is always something flowering in the Western Australian bush. And so today a share a few flowering trees from late February and early March.
If you click on the links you can go to where I have blogged about them individually before - Clockwise from top left - Eucalyptus grandis - Flooded gum, Corymbia calophylla sub species "rosea" - Pink Marri, Corymbia calophylla - Marri , Myrtaceae - lillypilly (in my garden - I make jam from them!), Casuarina - Sheoak, and Eucalyptus erythrocorys - red capped gum
Interestingly the marri was previously classified as a Eucalyptus species but in 1995 was reclassified as Corymbia.
It is a busy busy week for me. Here are some of the eco-print works I am getting ready for the Art market this weekend.
And a few of my cushions with my photography. Lots of flowers of course!I am linking up to the link-ups below. Please click on the links to see fabulous contributions from around the world - virtual touring at its best!

Jill - good luck with the Art Market, and thanks for taking the time to link this week. As always, I am fascinated by the plants in your part of the world. Many of the ones you included in this collage seem to have a "pom-pom" look - is it because several of them are eucalyptus?
ReplyDeleteinteresting.... even the lillypilly has this "pom pom" look even though it isn't a eucalypt. The marri was previously classified as a Eucalyptus species but in 1995 was reclassified as Corymbia.
DeleteWhat beautiful eco-prints! What is the beautiful pink blossom? It was just gorgeous! Wishing you much success with the Art Mocket.
ReplyDeletethe pink is Corymbia calophylla sub species "rosea" - Pink Marri. Quite a rare tree, but we have one only a short drive away where we go walking.
DeleteGreat to see you back Jill! Love the white and yellow feathery flowers. Great there is another event for you! Yes, the Ukraine is often in my thoughts nowadays. Am praying for their freedom, because that is what they want.

So interesting to see the plant life that's quite different from what I'm familiar with! The flowers are very pretty, as is your lovely artwork.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful flowers! Best of luck at the art market; your designs are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy your shares.
ReplyDeleteLilly Pilly jam : how does one prevent some insect from attacking the berries; the bruise looks like the prick from a fruitfly. I have several very productive trees and can't use the berries.
ReplyDeleteWe never have any problem with fruit fly on my lillypilly. On our apricot tree, yes, but not the lillypilly as it fruits a couple of months later. You could use a fruit fly net?
DeleteJust love to see these plants and flowers on your continent. For sure some are endemic, right. Also like your eco-prints. Would love to visit the market.
ReplyDeleteNow I will sneek around a bit more on your blog.

thankyou. Yes mostly I share plants endemic to Australia, like the eucalypts. But in Western Australia where I live we have thousands of varieties of wildflowers - parts are a biodiversity hotspot. For someone like me who likes to photograph wildflowers this is wonderful! Thankyou for stopping by.
DeleteSchön zu sehen was bei euch alles blüht. Bei uns fängt der Frühling an.
