Pilbara Gems: Wildflowers - Part 4

I am a real sweet tooth. I tried the whole giving up sugar thing and it just didn't work. I love sweet things. When I go to Cold Rock Ice cream, I order lemon sorbet with skittles and or nerds. Basically a bowl full of sugar with a dash of lemon - the ultimate sweet and sour!

So when I discovered wildflowers in the Pilbara that smelled like bubblegum, I was pretty darn excited!

That's seriously what these guys smell like! Sweet bubblegum and they are purple to boot! I keep forgetting their actual name, for me they are affectionately known as bubblegum flowers. Smiles!

Aside from that, I am also fond of these guys because we first saw them when we decided to end our travels and plant ourselves in the Pilbara (yes, I took this photo two years ago, it's from the archives). We have never looked back since! These gems are a perfect example of the small, good packages that are in this place, and the good gifts that God gives to his people...just because he can.
