I don't have much flowering in Jurassic Park (for obvious reasons) but I was persuaded to part with a little money a few years ago for a small Acacia pravissima specimen. This year I have been rewarded with some gorgeous little flowers:
There have been some enormous bees around recently, but they don't seem to have located the flowers yet. A pity, as I gather they go pretty crazy for acacia nectar.

One of my faves, much more interesting than the more common dealbata
ReplyDeleteI've never really fancied one of these, but yours looks very pretty. i could be converted!
ReplyDeleteWe've had the enormous bees here in Wandsworth too. Are they queens? One nearly hit me in the face the other day - it was so big I felt like directing it to Battersea Heliport.
