Hi David & Michelle ...
I have just noticed the wonderful wildflower pictures you have scrolling across the top of the of the site. Just beautiful!
We did see the Giant Hakea when we travelled out to Isralite Bay in 2009 - we had never seen such a plant before.
On our next trip over your way we will have to spend a lot more time just being amongst this display and ... we have to find those wreath flowers.

He Navigator,
The wreath flower is abundant around
Morawa & north - the
Canna Store area on the way through to
Mullewa.
Canna has a local display of many orchid varieties and a diverse range of
wildflowers as
well.
They are always dependent on the seasonal rains, so it is worthwhile checking before departing that the season has been productive.
I trekked up to Mt Augustus a few years back - complete with a recent newspaper article about how wonderful the
wildflowers were, only to be dismayed at the total absence of them.
When asked at the tourist centre about the misleading info, we were advised that the article was a 'reprint of the year before'.
Luckily we were able to treat our eastern states visitor to massive displays at
Kings Park - just a tad closer to
home.
Happy travelling
Regards - Phil

I've always been able to find wreath flowers on the side of Goodlands Rd north of
Wubin.
How are you Chicka and Robyn?

These photos and many others have come from the huge
wildflowers collection link in this blog -
Wildflowers Photos - The Blog
I have been thinking about a wildflower database - similar to the
fish species I wrote years ago and have not had time to finalise. I am still working towards it but have several other tasks on the production line before I get there.

wildflowers are a bit sparse this year out from perenjori, last year was a bumper year but patchy would be the best description this year.
best place for wildfloers right now is much closer to
home,
i went for a walk along whistlepipe gulley last night near forrestfield and the flowers were amazing
(appolagies for the phone pics)

Very nice :)
I found the mountain bike trails around Kalamunda and into Mundaring etc were in bloom quite early this year too. Haven't been up for a few weeks unfortunately. People should remember - the further south, the later the wildflower season.
