Australian Native Flowers in Close-Up

Lorel Curry's intimate oil paintings and photos of unusual Australian flora

More photos of Brunonia australis,
'Blue Pincushion', 'Native Cornflower'


The Brunonia genus has this one species, and some authorities place the genus in its own family, Brunoniaceae, after British botanist Robert Brown. Brown accompanied Matthew Flinders, the first sailor to circumnavigate the Australian mainland in 1803.

These shots were taken in fields of daisies and pink everlastings.
