Autumn Solstice Colour


Last Friday - 20 March -  we celebrated the Autumn Solstice here in Australia - and so I had a wander around my two-year-old garden to record the final bits of colour before the cooler weather moves in and many plants go into their Winter hibernation ...





























 ... and finally - my very fav flower 
( tho it is considered a weed in these parts )
Cassia Spectabilis


Now we move through Autumn into Winter
