Had to try again and climb down the cliff as you never get the perfect shot but worth all the effort.
I spent a lovely morning, a few weeks ago, with friends exploring the Anglesea Heathlands and the beautiful wildflower display. It is a significant environmental area with approximately one-quarter of Victoria's plant species found here.
Many thanks for your visits, kind comments and faves, very much appreciated.
This is the first time i have managed to climb down the cliff to get this shot and i am so glad i did
Long exposure of the sunset at the Pea Stacks. The last two days all we have had is this streak of light on the southeast coast, just enough to let the sun peak through.

Butterfly pea flower comes from a plant called clitoria ternatea that's native to Southeast Asia. The flowers are deep blue in color with a tinge of purple. The dried flowers are popular in Southeast Asia to color food like rice and it's also brewed in water to make a blue-colored tea. A drop of Lemon juice will turn Blue in Purple.
Another gloomy day, this time with drizzle. I was struck by the way the sweet pea tendrils in the garden were bejewelled with small droplets . The large drop at the end really does look like a jewel that has been mounted in a clasp.
This is the seed pod (old) of a sweet pea against the vibrant colour of a newly opened sweet pea. Taken with the iPhone 6+ and Olliclip attachment. It was tricky getting any kind of focus but the blurry bits were a gorgeous colour. HMM!
A large and showy legume flower. This plant was originally described in the 1800's by none other than Carl Linnaeus, and was named Clitoria mariana for his girlfriend (or at least part of her anatomy). I've not seen any accounts of her reaction to this rather dubious honor. It is listed as endangered in some other states, but here it was quite widespread.

We picked & ate sweet peas, while they were still warm, right from the garden. Nothing better. Happy first Fence Friday of Summer my friends, have a wonderful weekend!
This Peacock hen was casually wandering in front of my neighbor's house. We see them only occasionally in the neighborhood, so, this was a treat!
Little things make me happy. In this case, a bunch of sweet peas from the garden. I grew these from seed, so I’m even more happy.

Tangier Pea. This is an unscented annual relative of the Sweet Pea from the Iberian Peninsula and North Africa.
I quickly grabbed my camera as I was preparing dinner yesterday. Fresh peas in pods are quite different to using a bag of frozen ones!
This pretty yellow wildflower grows in meadows, fields, prairies, and along roadsides in the mid and eastern states of America. It is also known as the Sensitive Plant because the leaves fold together when touched. They grow in dry or moist soil and in sun or partial shade. Partridge Peas are annuals which grow from 1 to 3 feet tall and bloom from June through October. Bees and butterflies are attracted to their bright yellow blooms. HMM
The sweet pea, also known as the sweet pea, is a beautiful flower that belongs to the legume family. The name "lathyrus" is derived from the Greek word for pod, which refers to the characteristic pods in which the seeds of this flower grow.
This flower symbolizes friendship, love, and joy, which is why it is often used in bouquets. The great thing about the sweet pea is that the more you pick it, the more flowers will appear. It's the ideal cut flower!

Lathyrus latifolius - This sweet pea is a special variety. This mix is perennial, so you can enjoy it for years to come!

Hi all, hope everyone is doing OK, I've had a fairly eventful few months so not been around much....very few photos taken but I managed not to kill some Sweet Peas over the summer (we had a drought here in the East of the UK so daily watering required which I'm not very good at!)- so I photographed them to prove my nurturing skills- haha!
This was one of those occasions where I took some phone shots and some 'proper camera shots' and the phone ones turned out better. Obviously I've messed with it in Lightroom too but the ancient and very unfashionable phone (it's a lot like me!) did good!
... The old queen went into the bedroom, took all the bedding off the bedstead, and laid a pea on the bottom; then she took twenty mattresses and laid them on the pea, and then twenty eider-down beds on top of the mattresses ...
Swainsona formosa, Sturt's desert pea, is an Australian plant in the genus Swainsona, named after English botanist Isaac Swainson, famous for its distinctive blood-red leaf-like flowers, each with a bulbous red or black centre, or "boss". It is one of Australia's best known wildflowers. It is native to the arid regions of central and north-western Australia, and its range extends into all mainland Australian states with the exception of Victoria.[2]
