wattle in watercolour
It’s Winter in Australia, which means the Wattle is beginning to bloom. In my area we’ll soon be surrounded by a sea of bouncing little balls of yellow…...
Did you know :
- Wattle is Australia’s official floral emblem, having adorned our Coat Of Arms since 1912.
- there are around 950 different species of Wattle….. which is why I have no clue as to which one this is!
- On 1 September 1910 the Sydney Morning Herald stated:
“To many Australians the wattle stands for home, country, kindred, sunshine and love; every instinct that the heart most deeply enshrines.”........ nice :)
