Spring Colour With Natives

Today it is a photo of my natives that are blooming in spring. Many natives bloom all through winter into spring showing their diverse colours at this time, correas are a good example of this.

Winter Colour with Correas

Winter colour at the Junction with correas, as Australian plant lovers we have quite a few of these beautiful plants in our garden. Left is a collage of photos that I took this past winter.
Known as Australia's Native Fuchsia, the Correa is an amazing and versatile garden shrub of various sizes and flower colours. Once established, it can actually tolerate periods of dryness and does not require regular watering. It is a plant that is not as widely used in today's gardens as one would hope - which is a pity.
