Your photos are stunning. But why do you want to stay "anonymous" ? :-)

Thank you Marie! I've been on the internet for over ten years as 'Anon', it's no different from going by another name. No one online would know me then! :)

Are these the Australian Buttercup?

I thought I had a pretty good knowlegde of Australian natives and while I have heard of a Hibbertia I have never seen one before and certainly didn't think they were this gorgeous ... or maybe that last point is down to your photography skills :-)

Marie, we wouldn't ahve Anony anyother way - how else could I create a blog for her birthday if I knew what she looked like ha ha ha :-)

These flowers are actually very small Modroom, but the Hibbertia scandens posted on Saturday are BIG! We don't claim to have buttercups but instead shine the yellow below our chins with dandelions to find out if we are in love.

Mountaingirl, most hibbertias are natural to only Australia and most have bright yellow blooms. They are all very different to each other! I wouldn't know who I was if not 'anonymous' :)

Ooh I hate it when I miss so much. This series is absolutely wonderful. I think I saw a ficifolia flower in the Philippines when I was a child. I love love love thse wild plants and trees.

Thanks Ces, you asked for it! I've read a ficifolia isn't a gum but a bloodwood! Western Australia has some beauties and can imagine it would grow well in the Philippines :)
