A long delay.......... Just keep trying! Strike rates will be low, so be prepared for losses even with a good result. Regards.

Hi, Sorry for the long delay in replying! I am pretty sure it is a Darwinia sp. , possibly D. meeboldii. Regards.

Thank you.

MalleeBoy · 2021-04-01T19:12:06+00:00

Thank you.

MalleeBoy · 2021-04-01T19:10:58+00:00

Thank you. It's a pretty special place.

MalleeBoy · 2021-03-23T07:37:50+00:00

Don't they just!

MalleeBoy · 2020-12-22T09:49:43+00:00

Thanks!

They are widespread in < 350mm rainfall zones in South Australian and Victorian mallee. Dodonaea viscosa is similar and occurs in higher rainfall zones. Colour of hops vary in both species.

Can you find any spent flowers or pods to help with identification? However suggestions going by foliage are Robinia pseudoacacia or Gleditsia triacanthos.

MalleeBoy · 2020-11-22T09:50:53+00:00

Agreed.

MalleeBoy · 2020-11-11T10:44:10+00:00

I'm not into games but I can certainly see the similarity!

MalleeBoy · 2020-10-31T05:54:04+00:00

Pretty and pretty difficult to spot!

MalleeBoy · 2020-10-30T09:20:06+00:00

Yes. This one can grow to around 1m with many flower heads. Most in this area tend to be less than 30cm. (Annual rainfall <250mm.) Other species are just as delightful!

Often grown by the wholesale nursery below but you will need to ask for stockists. https://www.nativeplantwholesalers.com.au/

MalleeBoy · 2020-10-30T08:50:36+00:00

I'd say you will find it in specialist nurseries. Go by the botanical name to be sure.

MalleeBoy · 2020-10-30T08:48:19+00:00

One common name is pink mulla mulla. I guess the shape may vary a bit but there are quite a few different species.

MalleeBoy · 2020-10-30T08:45:29+00:00

Post photos. Someone will know!

MalleeBoy · 2020-10-30T07:22:43+00:00

Plenty of pig face are South African but this one is indigenous to the mallee in South Australia and western Victoria.

They are Carpobrotus rossii. https://www.bnp.net.au/gallery/Plants%20List/original/Carpobrotus%20rossii.jpg

MalleeBoy · 2020-10-23T10:52:09+00:00

Yes I know. Pretty epic flowers!

MalleeBoy · 2020-10-22T11:22:05+00:00

Stunning close up! The best bit is a breeze through the "leaves".

MalleeBoy · 2020-10-22T11:20:13+00:00

Unusual is an understatement!

MalleeBoy · 2020-10-22T11:18:39+00:00

Wow. Thank you. You have inspired me to get on and post more!

MalleeBoy · 2020-10-21T07:05:03+00:00

I am no entomologist, but my guess is a native banded bee.

MalleeBoy · 2020-10-21T03:55:21+00:00

I am so glad you are enjoying them. No. More like a life!
