Wildflower Identification

Hi Tony

Definitely not a orchid, but it is the Goodenia family


Cheers

Thanks for your information Frank.

A leaf would have identified the flower but we do not have one.

Thoughts are a Goodenia Woolly or Velleia Arguta - spur Velleia

Thanks

Thanks for your information Val.

How do you feel about it being a Velleia Arguta - Spur Velleia

Hi AJ,
I would go along with that, and certainly the location fits. Its really not possible to make a positive ID from photos because often there are features not seen that are significant in making an identification. But I think V. arguta fits pretty well.

Cheers,

Val.

Thanks for your information Stephen.

The photo belongs to my sister and taken in haste. It could be a leaf which would decide what it actually is and she does not have a clear picture of the leaf.

Another possibility is Velleia Arguta - Spur Velleia

Haha Stephen! No expert claims from me, but yes I do have a bit of experience gathered over the years. As I indicated to AJ its almost impossible be make a positive ID from a photo as often you cant see significant bits of the plant. As in this photo, where a clear shot of the leaf would be very helpful. But I'm going with V. arguta, as the petal and overall flower shape appears to be a better match and it too occurs in the Walker Flat area and is quite widespread in SA. Heck, I've even seen them myself!

Cheers,

Val.
