Hi Marc,
it's the advantage of a Forum which covers both Hemispheres!
At work they created a garden next to the carpark and this Grevillea is now in flower - I think it might be a form of Grevillea lanigera or maybe a hybrid. It often has birds in attendance for the nectar,
cheers

Some winter flowering shrubs/trees:
1) Mahonia (syn Berberis) aquifolium
2) Parrotia persica
3) close up of Parrotia flowers

Hi fermi,
I'm not familiar with Oxalis obtusa; but all of my Oxalis bloom during summer and autumn.
Seeing Oxalis in winter is really strange.
fermi de Sousa:
Hi Marc,
The roadside here are painted acid yellow by Oxalis pes-caprae in late winter!
A preferred yellow flower is the daffodil!
Here's Narcissus hispanicus which I got many years ago from Rod Barwick at Glenbrook Bulb Farm, Tasmania.
cheers
fermi
