Golden Aussie







What a difference two hours makes! Another everlasting daisy on it's daily opening and closing journey.
I'm amazed at the great variety of habits of flowers as I'm beginning to observe them more closely. The poppies which have just started opening over the last few days open once only and very quickly, then last only a few days.
These native daisy flowers take months to fully mature, opening and closing each sunny day along the way.
Love the differences, always something new to discover.

    What a beauty!
    Thank you for your answer. The only place where I have been in NSW is Sydney and its surroundings. Friends of mine were living there. In December we are all going to Tasmania to celebrate Christmas and New Year's Eve. I am looking forward to seeing them again.
