Cowslip Orchids

Lots of Cowslip orchid are up. Very few donkey orchids compared to last year. Several giant spider orchids that are flowering for the first time in at least 3 years

Kangaroo Paws

It is a great year for kangaroo paws with lots of them up around the B&B. Sean Blocksidge of Margaret River Discovery Tours took this lovely picture of a field of kangaroo paws. The rain that we have had has meant it is going to be (is now) a magnificent 2013 wildflower season.

Broom Tree

Our white Broom Tree in front or our kitchen is a delight. This morning after some rain it was drooping with all the weight of its flowers, It soon shook off the rain and was standing proud again.
