What’s in flower – October – Spring has sprung!

The featured image is a Wallflower or Donkey Orchid (Diuris orientis).

There is so much happening out in the bush at the moment. There will be many more flowers to see this month. It seems that the transition to Summer may be quick this year and the spring flowering season short-lived. So, get out there and take a look…..

Milkmaids (Burchardia umbellata)

Spreading Stonecrop (Crassula decumbans)

Black-anther Flax-lily (Dianella admixta)

Hare-orchid (Leptoceras menziesii)

Coast Fan-flower (Scaevola albida)

Austral Bugle (Ajuga australis)

Slender Pomaderris (Pomaderris racemosa)

Spiny-headed Mat-rush (Lomandra longifolia subsp. longifolia)

Common Boobialla (Myoporum insulare)

Kangaroo Apple (Solanum laciniatum) This shrub is a pioneer plant and quickly establishes in disturbed ground and after fire. It is short-lived (a few years) and can help to keep out weeds until other native plants get going.
