 SW Wildflower Info
 Sunday, 3 Jan 2010

For Wildflower info and links to some beautiful photo pages.
 
WA's southern regions have, by far, the most diverse range of wildflowers. About 80 per cent of the total estimate for the State are found in the South West alone. The southern regions are renowned for the more rare and dainty flowers such as orchids, milkmaids, honeypots, mountain bells and kangaroo paws - the most famous of the unique native plants. They are most distinctive plants with their bizarre plumes - there are 12 species and several colour combinations. Some are red and yellow, some green and black, others red and green - the latter being the best-known variety and has been adopted as Western Australia's floral emblem. The southern regions are home to more than 150 species of orchids, 165 species of eucalypts, more than 80 species of carnivorous plants such as the Albany pitcher plant and mistletoes like the picture-postcard Western Australian Christmas tree. One of the top viewing spots is the Stirling Range, named after the first Governor of Western Australia, Captain James Stirling. The season starts with the Queen of Sheba orchid in August through to mountain bells in November. More than 1,200 species have been identified in the national park, where many tracks provide easy access to the wildflowers. Up to 40 orchid species can be found in the park, including spider orchids, bird orchids, sun orchids and greenhoods.
