Western Australian Wild Flowers

So far on this trip we have seen some pretty interesting wild flowers and most growing in barren, red dirt country that's dry and dusty.  Here are some of them that we have clear photos of. They were all taken with David's camera and some I have been able to identify from the two W.A. Wildflower books I have bought. Some of them are really tiny.  There are well over 13,000 wildflower species in Western Australia so far recorded with new ones being identified all the time.   (So we haven't seen them all yet)!!!!!!!!    The areas with the most wildflowers are south of here but each day we travel south we can see more and more varieties on the roadsides.
