Wattle and orchids

We went the back way this morning and there is a lot of wattle out, had to take some photos although this is the start of my hay fever season I am afraid. We went over to Yankalilla to collect some of my stuff from the embroiderers Guild SALA exhibition and then on up to Noarlunga to have a look at the orchid show that was on, I think it was the cymbidium orchid national show, I am not a fan of the very large cymbidiums but did find a lovely pink miniature which I bought and also a cattleya, which I have been assured is a cool climate one, I have a few and mostly they do well for me. It was a funny drive, low cloud and drizzle made driving interesting, and yet here it had been fine. The cloud or fog was down to sea level in places. I am in the midst of blood tests and had a ct scan yesterday, same fellow who did mine 15 years ago, hope it has a good prognosis. I dont get any results until Monday and last time although different they didnt get a definitive result until 9 months later. I am trying not to be in a tizz about it all. Hay fever and a gut ache, what fun.

Sorry Penny that you are suffering - hope it is soon all resolved.

Beautiful orchids. Strange to think of them there in your 'winter' time.

Hi P - it almost seems we are already in spring with so much blossom about. May we continue to enjoy the bursting forth. Peace. B

I hope you have heard your results by the time you read this and that they are good. sorry about the hayfever, spring is never fun for sufferers. I love wattle though. Lovely orchids, happy to admire other people's flowers, but no desire to grow those myself. Cheers.
