It was Su Li's birthday - and she organised a trip down to Blue Gum
Forest via Lockleys Pylon. The wildflowers on the walk were
particularly striking.
Thanks to Roger Lembit for help with the flower identification.

The next day, on the way out - we went looking for the white flowers
again - without succes. There were lots (hundreds) of purple fringe
lilies around in the nearby heath (see later photos). The flowers
only last one day.
