Last weekend while my mother was arranging her Swamp Mahogany flowers which she picked from the seafood man's house (see Monday's post) I was arranging Banksia which Harry and I picked out in the bush down a sandy track in the middle of the island. The Banksias have all been in bloom over at Straddie over the last month or so which has made the 20 minute drive from the barge over to our house very attractive. I decided to cut some for an arrangement on my dining table and this is what I created.
**Note to my readers abroad Banksias are an iconic Australian native wildflower/plant.

I am not currently well versed in horticultural terminology, but I loved today's post. Simply lovely.
It has inspired me to run about my property to choose some of my pretties to grace my home. I absolutely love the seashells. I even have some!
Also, you have a thumbnail picture of your beach house here on your blog. I love the impact of the red painting against the white wall. I have been wanting to go all-white for awhile now and now I believe I have the confidence to move forward.
Thanks for the lovely post.
I have never heard of Banksias, but they are beautiful! :)
