Thanks Craig and Tom. I truly value your affirmations and friendship. Until Panoramio, our flora was just a private world of joy, but now I am delighted to share with the network and the world.

Beautiful colours, pink, gold and silver green. From the sucker for Natives.

Ian Stehbens on May 8, 2008

You are a beautiful sweet native yourself, Robyn. I know, I held you in my arms when you were born. You were not imported! And you continue to love beauty and to live beautifully!

Congratulations on your photographic successes in the show.

What else to say?...I like it!

Thanks so very much Raz and May. It really is encouraging to have you both enjoy this and other floral images.

Each region has distinctive flora, and it is my privilege to share our Australian flora with you.

Sincerest regards,

Ian

Ah....absolutely beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOLDEN STAR! EDITA :)

Ian Stehbens on May 13, 2008

Thanks you sooooo much Edita. I found out recently that the Golden stars system does contribute to the rankings of Panoramio, so it counts more than just the appreciation of a Panoramio friend. But the best part is the appreciation by a special friend, so thanks.

Kindest regards,

Ian

Excellent photo Ian, very well done !! Greetings Luud

Ian Stehbens on May 15, 2008

Thank you Martin and Luud. I feel privileged to live in an environment where Banksias are common, but I assure you I could never take them for granted.

I am grateful that Panoramio allows me to see my immediate environs with fresh insight.

Appreciatively,

Ian

Another Australian wonder! Thank you for sharing, Ian

Cheers, Inessa

Ian Stehbens on May 19, 2008

Yes, Inessa. Captain Cook and Joseph Banks had a "wonder"ing when they first came here, in April 1770. So that is precisely the reason this is a "Banksia". And it still flowers in April and on into the winter.

Appreciatively,

Ian
