Exquisite

I am in love with these tiny flowers! I had heard the name "Hoya" for many years, but had no idea of the miniature beauty to be found behind that name. A cluster of these tiny, tropical flowers forms a ball shape at the end of a very long vine stem. I think the contrast between the "fleece" star and the shiny, "pearl" centre is totally exquisite. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoya I got soaked almost to the skin on a walk at Votier's Flats, Fish Creek Park, yesterday morning, and came home with just one photo worth keeping (of a Common Raven feeding two young in the nest, built high up on a railway bridge). It's raining again this morning so, even though I got up early for another walk, I changed my mind : ) Hmmm ... Flickr hiccups.
