Acacia dealbata, four weeks later

Posted by MadScientist (Düsseldorf, Germany) on 11 February 2008 in Plant & Nature.

In addition to yesterday's post, I'd like to present you my Acacia of today: I think there are enough flowers for the next three weeks! First flower flies are dropping by, perhaps the first bees of the year: I declare spring season open. (I was in a hurry and it was quite windy, the tree was constantly moving, so it's a bit blurry. But I didn't want you to miss it :-)

I know, I know: winter might strike back, but with every passing day this probability decreases.

@Ina: Thanks! I'm really enthusiastic about this plant and its many flowers. There are just a few evergreens in my neighbourhood, so I appreciate every bit of colour at this time of the year.
