If you are interested in flowers, birds etc
check out this website. Don't forget to read the
blogs. Met the guy and his knowledge is astounding. Lives and breathes flora and the bush with a passion. Some fantastic photos of orchids and other flowering plants as
well as birds in the area. Great place to visit.

Legendts - That's a neat little spot, and a great website about it. The flower photos are spectacular - and I never even knew there was a red Leschenaultia! Only ever recall seeing the blue variety.
I spent at least 3 decades working around Narrogin and further East, and I never knew this place existed.
It's must be the furtherest or nearly the furtherest place West, where Mallees can be found.
Cheers, Ron.

Well there you go I didn't know there was a blue one. :-) the red was out but only one small bush and it was being kept watered by the guy who does the website. From memory of what was said to us regarding the Mallees you are right Ron. We spent hours in there and I reckon you could spend days and not see it all. Quite a lot of cowslip orchids in there at the moment but doubt they will last much longer if the hot weather gets to them.

Ron, I needed to have a closer look re the Blue Leschenaultia, of course I have seen it as its prolific in the Lair, I just didn't realise it. My wife is the flower "girl" not me, I just do the driving and get told where to go, politely of course. :-) My wife actually found four Rattlebeak Orchids in there today, what a find for her.
Cheers
Jeff.
