Mid-summer downunder: Planchonia careya (Cocky Apple) in bloom.

No .. no scent Homebird. Just a ball of long white stamens, with one green one in the middle!

Though they only last a little while, you have caught their beauty for long time. Just lovely Bernieh.

Yes Faerieflora ... it was definitely worth the trudge through the bush and getting attacked by march flies!! Lol!

You were there at just the right time Bernieh , well done for capturing it and letting us see it .......

This reminds me a bit of the caper flower

So stunning...........

Beautiful.......

Lovely so unusual!

Thanks all for your comments.

I didn't realise they were that short lived Bernieh. What a shame, but I guess you have to make the most of them while they are there. I do think they are lovely.

No I've never tried the fruit, Marguerite. Can't say I'm tempted to either.
