Velvet Splendour is like holding a large bunch of sunburnt wildflowers in both arms and pressing one’s face gently into it.

An impressionist’s painting of a long drive through the open, breezy and cloudless countryside.

The Mimosa (wattle) tree bursting into bloom, marking the first sign of spring in Australia. Soft yellows are shaded against blue skies. The first inhale is an immediate mix of green stems, yellow blooms, cool air and warm light.

South Australia covers some of the most arid parts in the country. In late winter through to spring the beautiful wattles (mimosas) put on a show to behold with their brilliant hello blossoms sparkling in the winter sunshine. Golden Wattle (Acacia Pycnantha) is Australia's national flower and native to the country. Mimosa is a miracle of nature, a tree with a unique appearance and a scent like no other.
