You can't get much more Australian than Golden Wattle. Its the floral emblem for Australia and flowers here around August each year - Spring. I have noticed already that some of the wattles are starting to bud up now - so I am looking forward to Spring - just have to get through June and July - the coldest months here.
The image is coloured with Derwent Inktense Pencils.
Hope you Enjoy.

Beautiful wattle flowers, Helen, love your choice of flowers!! I just love the wattle trees when flowering on the road to Canberra, once you turn off the Hume Highway, Helen - always a beautiful sight to see!! We both thought Australian for this challenge and, would you believe, I just remembered I do have a wattle stamp - duh!!

Well, i have thoroughly enjoyed being educated about wattle and waratah this morning and seeing two beautifully handcrafted samples a couple of months and your eyes will be filled with their irl beauty. Stay warm;)

When these are blossoming, it must be fabulous. We have nothing like it here. Thanks for giving us a peek at "down under".
