My Nepenthes truncata x veitchii is coming into flower! That was not what I was expecting atm

Crotalaria cunninghamii just won’t stop flowering!

And also Bellida graminea the only one so far!

Podolepis aristata also popping up!

Also have the Priority 1 species Rhodanthe Chlorocephala subsp chlorocephala! The yellow everlasting

Something exciting is popping up! #Dithyrostegia amplexicaulis are germinating! Only sown last Sunday!

Orchid Society meeting last night! Here’s just a few blooms that were on the bench!

A cactus flower party for some bees!

Seems to be Gavicalis virescens now if any Birders can confirm 😊

Some Singing Honeyeaters (Lichenostomus virescens) having a great old time in the garden bird bath! 😍

The genus does often get called the cockroach orchid! Not sure why it’s that shape tho

It can only be found on a few mountain rainforests of Far North Queensland!

Restrepia sanguinea

Baby Drosera schizandra from leaf pullings 😍 this species surprisingly has become a very hassel free species for me surprisingly

Drosera squamosa still happily flowering and leaves just about to unfurl!!

One of my Favourite Cassytha species! Cassytha flava, this low growing species is common around the Meelup regional park often favoring Melaleuca systena! Easy one to pick out as its small cluster of yellow flowers hint at its name flava! The Yellow Dodder laurel 😊

Tiny Utricularias coming into bloom 😍

Was not expecting my Theobroma cacao to grow so quickly after being repotted hopefully continues to be happy! Maybe not but I’m excited to try and grow it either way!

There are not many Stylidium species that flower all year round! Stylidium repens is one such species, a species you might easily walk by out of flower, but when they flower it’s like little twinkling stars in the ground!

I haven seen a Sawfly larvae in ages! Such odd Hymenoptera 🐝

My Drosera squamosa is in bloom 😍

This one is a different species, much more slender! I almost didn’t see it as it’s blending in to the background and growing amongst the shrubs

Lepidosperma Sp. in flower! First picture shows one presenting the stigma, the others producing their anthers! Seems to be their time of year!

The ever so pointy Styphelia pallida! One of the many Styphelia out atm!

These Lepidosperma were growing in the sand along the edge of the graded track to Contos Beach! This genus is found almost everywhere in the southwest, filling many ecological niches and forming habitat and food for may species, but they just a pain to ID

A little bit of column A and column B there ahaha such a wild thing to see

Such cool phyllodes on this Acacia littorea! This one has a funny taxonomic history from my reading around it and has many different names under it! This was growing in the coastal dunes and was a very common shrub of the coastal shrubland down in the Margaret River region!

Can’t forget to show Cassytha strangling its host! Soo many haustoria on this Lepidosperma!

Pretty sure this is Cassytha racemosa, growing in the low wind blown coastal shrubland down around Boranup! Covering over Scaevola and Acacia! All of them covered in flowers!

Such beautiful foliage on this Boronia alata! Though A little stressed being right on the harsh coast in hot summer conditions!
