Hi Tom! These shots are stunning, it makes me realise I have not looked at them close enough.
I was told the wet the bed aspect of touching these flowers as a child. Is it true? The fear of wetting the bed was enough to make me keep my fingers out of my mouth, because of course I would have to touch the flowers, and everything else like most children, but I was never sure if it was a myth to keep fingers away from mouths!
Like gold they look in my orchard in spring, swarming with bees and insects enjoying the abundance of nectar and pollen. The Galahs arrive to eat the flowers and I arrive with my hoe to hack out the leaves for my chooks! Naturally it is a different approach in the formal flowerbeds, there they are not so much appreciated. Have a nice week.

Happy weekend to you!
Hi Dancin, great to see your name here... I think the story is a myth..
If someone had taken out a patent and sold them, they would have cost a fortune. Beautiful!
Beauty, and look forward to tomorrow, my fav.

Tom: You do have to get up close to realize the beauty of that evasive weed.
We had a great crop of these this year. :) I actually saw some fields covered with the seed heads that I thought was pretty!
