A very tough beauty

A very tough beauty
This wonderful species of flower grows only in the driest and harshest part of inland Australia. This was in red sand in the middle of the desert,
They are known as Sturt Desert Pea, and they defy attempts to grow them in suburban gardens!
They are Swainsonia Formosa, botanically.

They are truly beautiful, and it is significant that they defy attempts to grow them in suburban gardens. Wonderfully composed plant portrait, Diana!

And "formosa" it certainly is! What an amazing plant, Diana. You captured the colors beautifully and gave a sense of the whole plant, as well.
I hope you are doing well and it's really nice to see you posting.

Une photo magnifique de fleurs inconnues en Europe que tu as su capter au milieu du désert! ***********************************************************************************
Merci pour le partage ma chère Diana, merci d'être venue me visiter pour me faire un coucou et m'avertir que tu avais fini de déménager! J'espère que tout va bien pour toi ma chérie.
