There are more flowers each week as we officially enter spring down under.
Most Aussies refer to our Acacias as 'wattles' there are a number of species currently in flower here.
Acacia genistifolia - grows as a tangled shrub with very spiky leaves so it makes a great hideout for the smaller birds. Has been flowering since mid winter so almost finished now
Acacia pycnantha - golden wattle
Acacia buxifolia - boxleaf wattle. Small shrub with grey leaves
Acacia acinacea - gold dust wattle. Grows from knee high to around head high, sometimes abundant so makes a real show when it flowers
Acacia paradoxa - Kangaroo thorn or hedge wattle has spines among the leaves on a sprawling plant
Not sure which species this one is ff hand.
Acacia bormanii - snowy river wattle. Grows as a multi trunked shrub that reproduces as suckers so often forms dense stands.
