Australian Native Wildflower as Garden Specimen

 

Comment

Eremophila enata is found in the area around Wiluna in the north-eastern part of the Austin Botanical District of Western Australia. The name is derived from the Latin enata, meaning 'arising from', alluding to this species’ close relationship with E. gilesii.

Thanks John,

Sue continues to grow these magnificent flowers so the least I can do is share them with the world.

Cheers,

Dave

These "flat" style Eremophilas seem to have much more signaling in all ranges - visible, UV and fluorescence. And as you once mentioned these are the Eremophila types evolved to provide a "landing platform" for their pollinators as opposed to the tubular type which are bird pollinated. It all seems to makes sense, doesn't it?

Just when I think I'm getting on top of taking these Eremophila we visit yet another plant sale and we get more ;)
