Wattle it be? Acacia, Wattle or Mimosa? take your pick :) . . Native to Australia, Wattles have been extensively introduced into New Zealand and are regarded by many as a typical feature of our landscape.. This one is a coastal variety in my garden. The are very hardy and very pretty, but keep away if you suffer from hayfever :) Aaaachooo!! . . My other upload Flowerpower is a manipulation of this photo. . .Panasonic DMC-FZ7.. Thank you for taking a look.Any comments are most welcome and always appreciated.

This will probably be "Wattling" around in my head all day. Lovely coloring and framing. They look so light and fluffy.
Very nice post.

Lyn, watched this one and 'flowerpower' at full screen size (necessary to become a good impression of the beauty of both images). Cant't decide which one I prefer above the other as they both beautiful in their own way. Thanks for putting (that many) effort in it! Regards, Cornelius

Wow, lemon meringue growing on branches! What a great shot - so crisp and interesting and with so many tones of the delicate flower "brushes". Great work!

gerry and kevin and I agree on the effect of the lemon meringue interlaced with the green of the leaves. What a gorgeous flower, and I wish I had a green house. This would definitely be in it...front row.
