Flower Season 2015

In my last post I wrote about the beginning of winter and hoping for good winter rains for a good flower season to follow. Well, unfortunately we didn't get much rain this winter. Just a whole lot of dully grey days with no rain to show for it, so the ground water table is very low and a source of concern to the local farmers. But yet somehow we had a fantastic wild-flower season. In Port Owen itself we seem to get mostly white daisies called rain flowers. In places the flowers are so densely packed it looks like snow on the ground until one gets close.

But if one ventures out just a little way there are a multitude of colours to be found
