Wattle Magnets

Wattle

The wattle, with its delicate yet vibrant yellow flowers, exudes the essence of springtime. As the golden blooms sway gently in the breeze, they add a splash of color to the landscape, signaling the arrival of a new season. The wattle's branches, adorned with clusters of tiny flowers, create a captivating display of beauty and charm. With its sweet fragrance filling the air, the wattle invites admirers to pause and appreciate the simple wonders of nature. In full bloom, it serves as a symbol of renewal and hope, inspiring a sense of joy and optimism in all who behold its splendor.

Imagine a heartwarming scene where a wattle, adorned with vibrant yellow blossoms, beams with a happy smile. Its petals seem to curl upward in joy, forming a cheerful grin that radiates positivity and warmth. Surrounded by lush green foliage, this wattle stands as a beacon of happiness, spreading its infectious smile to all who pass by. Its bright and sunny disposition uplifts spirits and brings a sense of joy to the world, reminding us to find happiness in the simplest of moments.

I love wattle, it heralds the end of winter and coming of spring.

Wattle flowers signal spring in Australia as the cover the hills in vibrant yellow.

During winter when many other plants are conserving their energy in preparation for the spring, splashes of yellow brighten up the Australian bush when the wattle blooms. Photo taken in Sydney, Australia on a Nikon Coolpix P610.

The latest of my artworks, hot off the easel is this gorgeous native aussie flowering tree, the Wattle. Beautiful fragrance as well as pretty flowers

New to the garden! Here is my Wattle Bird amongst the Grevilleas!

Cockatoo with Wattle

Our National emblem - bright golden wattle blossom brings the forests to life in Spring. Hochkins Ridge Flora Reserve, Victoria, Australia.

Easy to see why early settlers used this shrub for hedging - neither people nor animals would want to push thru those thorns! Acacia Paradoxa at Hochkins Ridge Flora Reserve, Victoria, Australia.

Was attracted by the pattern made by these bright green wattle seeds dangling from the tree.

Pastel on Canson Paper (Green) Another early work, and probably my only attempt EVER at painting flowers (which I have never had much luck with)! The Cootamundra Wattle turns the Australian countryside green & gold and gives us a hint that spring is on the way. It usually blooms around our area in late July. Although it is very very beautiful, it is great 'sneezemaking' blossom. *Featured in Painters Universe - International Women's Day Gallery - March 2011* *Featured in Contemporary Pastel Painters - March 2011* *Featured on RedBubble EXPLORE Page - August 2011* *Featured in Natures Symphony of Trees & Flowers - January 2012* *Featured as Best in Show in Painters Universe - January 2012*

Another from my walk along Mullum Mullum Creek - Black Wattle (Acacia Mearnsii). These flowers - and the foliage - look a lot like Silver Wattle (Acacia Dealbata), which flowers much earlier. The name comes from the tree trunks turning black as they age - not to be confused with Blackwood (Acacia Melanoxylon).

The national floral emblem of Australia, the Golden Wattle is a glorious sight in Spring. Its proper name is Acacia Pycnantha.

Wattle 3

I caught this Sallow Wattle (Acacia Mucronata) in full burst at Hochkins Ridge Flora Reserve in Croydon North, Victoria, Australia.

A walk after the rain produced photos of raindrops on Wattle flowers - very pretty!

Taken in Capertee, NSW Australia

this is from my reduction multi-coloured linocut "wattle"

Silver Wattle is in flower all over Southern Victoria at this time of year, but this one was flowering in the rain beside Mullum Mullum Creek in Ringwood, Victoria.
