You can’t walk anywhere in the Jarrah forests without seeing one of these #Stylidium amoenum, if there was an icon for Stylidiums I would say these take the title! But then again there’s just soooo many Stylidiums! #Stylidiaceae #WildOz

If that’s not cool enough, the flowers are capable of rapid movement! This mechanism is unrelated to its mode of nutrient acquisition.

Pollinators: Hey look, a flower. Awesome!

The flower: [SMACK!]

Tiny little annual Levenhookia stipitata part of the Stylidiaceae family, the common #Stylewort! Now I know it’s for its floral morphology but I like to think this genus got style! They come out en masse! Soo many
