Last week, I went on a bit of a wander in a native bushland park... thought I'd share some of the flowers that are out in flower at the moment... many of these are not horticulturally grown, but really they should... they make such a wonderful show!

1. Epacris longiflora - a low growing bush, and the tubular flowers can cover the whole plant to make a really amazing show... one of my fave Aussie native flowers.

2. Hardenbergia violacea - this is a beautiful rambling / Climbing plant. This is one of the few natives now commercially available.

3. Eriostemon verrucosus 'Pink' - another plant that was totally covered in flowers.

4. Chorizema cordatum

5. Calothamus quarifidus - this is a really unusual plant and the flowers come out of the branches of the bush.

Thanks for the pics, they all look great. I live in Oz and haven't seen any of those before.

Thanks for sharing.
 
thanks for sharing, never seen anyone of them!!!! One good example of what you can get for free when walking through mother nature! Jean

(or did you have to pay an entry-fee????)
 
thanks for the lovely comments everyone... there really is such a wondrous amount of beautiful things that can be experienced for free... that's right, Jean... it's free to wander around this park.

I'll do a separate thread for a couple of aussie orchids in bloom...
