Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ This flower was growing "wild" in the grasses by the roadside in Dromana, Mornington Peninsula.
I do not know its name, but it looked so lovely, freshly nurtured by rain!

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Dietes grandiflora or Dietes iridioides - Wild Iris
Probably the Dietes iridioides which is smaller. The other seems to have spots at the base of the outer petals.
Grandiflora flowers last several days while iridioides last just a day.

drop of heaven indeed!
Beautiful flower macro. The three light purple petals look like the middle of and iris but the rest is quite different.
The raindrop pears bring the photo a special charm.
Have a nice weekend!
