Australian Rainbow Flowers

Hi everyone

I have had a thought spinning around in my head for quite a few days now, and yes, my head has been hurting with all that spinning ☺☺☺

So for no particular reason, other than to stop spinning, I am going to create my ......

RAINBOW
of AUSTRALIAN NATIVE PLANTS 

here just for you

and more importantly for me

So that when I get around to having a garden again, I will be prepared with my flowers

BTW - All of these plants are ones I have grown in my many gardens from time to time, a lot of these I repeatedly have grown in each garden.

First off, please note that none of these photos are mine, I went trawling through Flickr to find them and will give credit where due

So now for the
RED

this would have to be our Bottlebrush

ORANGE

An Orange Flowering Gum

YELLOW

would be for Wattle

GREEN

 While its not seen as a "flower" this would definitely be in my garden, as long as I have a shady spot
Green is such a hard colour to find in flowers

And when I checked my first thought, which was the Australian Native Orchid, I found the flowers were whitish too

BLUE

A really hard colour for me to find anything, so I chose an Iris

INDIGO

This is a very hard colour for me to find something, so I ended up with these - Bracyscomes, which I might add still seem purple to me

VIOLET

for our Native Violet, which is tiny and is used as a groundcover in shady, dampish spots

Hope you enjoyed my day-dreaming as much as I have
