When the days are dreary it is lovely to have something to look forward to. For the past week or so I have been watching the buds swell on this golden wattle at our bush block, anticipating the full burst of joy it would deliver soon. And wow did it deliver this weekend.
Next almond blossom will burst out at Rose Orchard Haus and, as the weeks move on, more lovely things will appear.
It feels so good that the mornings are getting brighter with fewer frosts. And the days are a little warmer but I am sure the season has a few chilly twists and turns left in it yet so I am planning a winter escape.
The golden glow of massed wattle always brings cheerfulness. Thankfully our winter days since our return have been filled with blue skies and warm sunshine. Enjoy your adventure.
ReplyDeleteThere has been plenty of sunshine up your way.
DeleteIt is quite warm here so it hasn't been as cold as down south. The wattle looks stunning each year I must say. We don't have it growing here.
ReplyDeleteIt seems we have all had it rather warm recently but a cold spell is on its way later this week.
DeleteThe beautiful wattle is such a joy to see in winter and I have been waiting for them to blossom here and they are starting to so makes me hope that the weather might get warmer soon. Enjoy your winter escape.
ReplyDeleteThe wattle comes out in in the forest understory in the middle of winter here.
DeleteBeautiful yellows!
ReplyDeleteVery yellow.
DeleteI drive up the Mountains every week and love to see the Wattles blooming along the Highway. You are lucky to have such a beautiful wattle growing on your block. Enjoy your holiday.
ReplyDeleteI think this is a Cootamundra Wattle which is a bit of a weed in some places. But I love it weed or not. There are some other local wattles on the block that flower later in the season but they are not showy like this one.
DeleteLovely wattle you have there, Joan
ReplyDeleteI am happy to have it.
