Planter boxes out and ready to go!

Sprengelia species, probably Pink Swamp Heath. Really pretty little guys

This one was perplexing to identify. Extremely simple but somewhat similar to the wedge-pea unless you're careful. 4 petals so we're good to go, it's a Hibertia species, probably "Nitidia", or the Shining Guinea Flower.

Two pea plants: I think the first is a bush-pea species and the second is a parrot pea species called "eggs and bacon" (I am not making this up - I'm not that creative!!!)

Narrow-leaf Isopogon species. This one is just weird, it's called the drumstick, and they produce these SUPER WEIRD flowers and fruits.

Dotted sun orchid - this one was quite a find among the rocks and was delighted to see it.

Sydney Boronia - one of my favourite winter / early spring wildflowers

Day out doing remote bushwalking to look at rare flowers today. Met a trailrunning couple I'd seen at UTA (Ultratrail Australia) a while ago and gave them a quick talk about carnivorous plants. Gonna miss this country while I'm in Spain in a week's time!
