These flowers belong to the daisy family, Asteraceae. They're just emerging now. When they're mature they just look like a yellow ball. I found it interesting that at this earlier stage you can see the physical properties of a daisy - it's visibly a compound flower made up of tiny little florets. Later on you won't really be able to tell what the structure of the flower is like.

I've been trying to get out once a week and see how the wildflowers are progressing. Local orchids (my favourite flowers) will hopefully start poking their heads out in the next few weeks. Something to look forward to!

That cheerful yellow is such a constant in flowers and I love it:) Hibbertia (guinea flower) are very common here and not very exciting but I gotta admit I love seeing a clearing full of that rich, cheery yellow!

The yellow daffodils have come through nearby me about two weeks back and they never fail to put a smile on my face 🐸
