Wildflowers of the Yallingup Area of S/W Western Australia. 19th Sept 2014.

The last of two Fridays in Western Australia.

The flora today was photographed in the Yallingup and Cape Naturaliste localities in Western Australia. We were on a Ross Tours Wildflower Trip led by Angus Stewart, from the ABC's Gardening Australia show.

The whole Wildflower Trip can be seen on my other blog at  Gumnuts and Other Stuff.
