Australian Native Wildflower as Garden Specimen

 

Comment

Verticordia staminosa subsp staminosa was gathered in 1961 near Wongan Hills in Western Australia. It has been declared as Rare Flora in the wild due to its being restricted to a single granite outcrop but is becoming quite widely cultivated.

These really are unusual!

 

Dave, I added a bit to your header so that UVIVF was mentioned.
