FLORAL FRIDAY

These beautiful wreath flowers were  photographed on our trip in 2009 in Western Australia.  Apparently they are often more profuse but in 2009 we had to hunt along many back roads before we came across these two but well worth the effort as they are very unusual and these were growing on the road and as you can see branches were placed near them to help protect them from the traffic passing by.




Lechenaultia macrantha, (also spelled Leschenaultia), called red wreath flower because of its flat, wreath-like growth habit to about 500mm across, grows mainly in the red sand country east of Geraldton and blooms in mid-spring. It's often found in the disturbed gravelly-sandy soil next to the road.
