Australian Native Wildflower as Garden Specimen

 

Comment

 

Eremophila accrescens is a rare species named by R J Chinnock in 2007 from specimens he collected southeast of Ashburton Downs, Western Australia, in September 1979. It is suspected to be a hybrid between E. cuneifolia and E. phyllopoda with which it was found in the wild.

The flowers were sectioned to more clearly see inside the corolla for the following photographs.

Yes, it's sometimes hard to predict which will be the more interesting.

 

 

Dave, I really like your cut-away of the flower. I did that once with a Daffodil and it was quite interesting.

I find images of Eremophilas with tubular corollas leave me wanting to try to see inside to perhaps see how they would be seen by an insect, I've only just started this crazy idea so I will add them to existing posts as the flowers are available. I don't think I will do it for daisy type flowers where you can see all the action and it will only be used on studio shots not those taken in the wild. This particular eremophila is insect pollinated, bird pollinated ones, which I will post, show UV black both inside and outside. There's a PhD in this if you know any students.
