Wow, How amazing to come across such a sight in the bush. Lovely colour, more magenta than purple. I was surprised to see it’s Pig face. That is a short flowering plant but stunning nonetheless. I remember this being a hugely popular plant back in the 90’s. I didn’t realise it was an Australian native plant.
I love Jacaranda trees but they don’t grow in Canberra unfortunately because it’s too cold here. It is a tree originally from South Africa, but has become a well loved tree in Australia.
Without brilliant blue skies in Australia we need bright colourful flowers that complement the sky. I hope that we get wonderful flowers this summer as Australians love gardening and quality time outdoors. There is nothing like immersing oneself in nature. It’s so grounding and relaxing, something that humanity needs now more than ever. So why not enjoy our countryside and a picnic when you have free time. The country towns need an economic boost and you will be enriched by the experience.
