I love discovering new Instagram accounts who are passionate about the same things as me. I follow a mixed selection and was thrilled to find this Australian flower lover recently. ⠀ If you follow someone you think I should know about (from any genre) tag them in my comments so I can check them out 😁⠀ ⠀ And ps: hoe beautiful are these yellow gum flowers ⠀ ⠀ This is Eucalyptus wyolensis - wyola Mallee. A rare small to medium Euc. It has stunning pale tiered foliage and the flowers put on a great show.⠀ ⠀ #australiannatives #australianflowers #australiannativeplant #australiannativeplants #australiannativeflowers #australianflora #australiannative #australiangardens #floraofaustralia #nativegarden #nativeplants #nativelandscaping #nativeaustralianflowers⠀ #eucalyptus #treeday⠀ #eucalyptustree #eucalyptusflowers"⠀ ⠀ 📷 Photo credit @for_the_love_of_aus_natives⠀ 📱 Reposted with @plannthat https://www.instagram.com/p/B1pE_AIHwB0/?igshid=15w5umzdpjd10

The lotus (Nelumbo nucifera, 莲) is a common aquatic plant in northern Australia, which is said to be native. Still, a theory believes it was brought here from Asia by people several thousand years ago. The habitat is usually crocodile infested; stay away from these pretty flowers.

This snake orchid (Cymbidium suave) was right in the middle of its blooming when the bushfire swept through the forest floor. It’s a pity, even a bit cruel, but it is how the Australian forest ecosystem works.

Despite being called 'bush pomegranate', this lovely orange-flower shrub (Cheniana microphylla) belongs to the family of gum trees (Myrtaceae). It occurs in a small area east of Geraldton in Western Australia.

Formosa lily or Taiwanese lily (Lilium formosanum) is endemic to Taiwan originally. But has naturalised in Australia and become a weed. A pretty weed though.

Some of the beard orchids (Calochilus spp.) I have encountered this spring in the Sydney region. Calochilus species can both self-pollinate and be pollinated by wasps through sexual deception (by mimicking female wasps).

Purple Broom (Polygala virgata), originally from southern Africa. It was introduced to Australia as a garden plant, but it managed to escape the gardens and naturalised itself in SE and SW Australia. This was photographed in Brisbane Water NP of Sydney.

Richea scoparia. This Tasmanian alpine Ericaceae bush relies on a skink (Niveoscincus microlepidotus) for pollination, despite the skink is not its pollinator. In order to protect the flowers from the harsh alpine conditions, its petals fused to form a structure called calyptra, which stops insects from entering the flowers. But the skink loves the nectar, and it removes the calyptra by eating it to reach the nectar, thus opening the flowers for the pollinators. Fascinating coevolution.
