-BUSH IN SUMER

-"Sweet flower, for by that name at last When all my reveries are past,
-I call thee, and to that cleave fast Sweet silent creature ;
-That breath'st with me in sun and lair Do you, as thou art wont, repair
-My heart, with gladness and a share of thy meek nature."
-The above lines very aptly depict the flowers which I am bringing to your notice this month and gladly would I "share their meek nature" as a respite from the complications of life. I shall take the Lomatia Silaifolia(Wild -Parsley) first.
-Lomatia, taken from the Greek "loma", the fringe of a robe was named from the 'border or "wing" on the seeds. The creamy white flowers usually grow in pairs arranged alternately on the long flower stem. The flowers resemble those of the Waratah, with a curved and irregular corolla, The 4 petals become finally free and soon fall off. The 4 stamens are on the lobes of the petals which hold the and of the pistil fast, until the pollen is ripe and ready for distribution. The pretty leaves are much divided and sharply toothed and unfortunately much loved by the flower sellers in Martin Place, who usually try to improve on nature by dying them pink or red shade.
-Wahlenbergia Gracillis (Aust. Blue Bell) is a dainty slender herb with delicate
-blue flower bells. The upright solitary flowers have a green calyx with 5 lobes which may be short and broad or narrow and long. The bell shaped cOrolla
-has 5 outspread lobes, which are generally longer than the corolla tube. The
-free stamens stand up round the style which grows up through the encircling anthers, the early ripening pollen is collected on a ring of sticky hairs just
-below the stigma. The sticky liquid soon dries and the pollen is ready for distribution.
-Thysanotus Tuberosus (Fringed Violet). The Thysanotus (from the Greek Thysanos - a fringe) is well known by its delicate fringed petals, from which the species are known as fringed violets. Violet, however, is a misnomer as the colour is its only resemblance to that flower. Fringed Lily has been suggested as more correct, but it would be hard to alter the old favourite. The flowers are arranged irregularly on a flowering stalk, The 3 dark purple
-narrow sel)als show between the 3 fringed bread petals, which twist round each other after the 6 stamens have shed their pollen and the stigma has ripened. As implied by the name, it has tubers which are the underground stores of food and thus enables the plait to live and flower under very dry condition.
