More of my Aussie native plants.
I get annoyed with people who say that Australian native plants are not colourful, so they won't plant them in their gardens. Our plants are just as lovely as any others, and are particularly suited to our dry environment, as well as providing food for native birds, animals and insects. Some of you reading this might remember that when we landscaped our back yard last year, I insisted on having as much indigenous flora as possible, and most of it was tube stock (just past the seedling stage). Here are some of the shrubs which are coming into flower for the first time (and my camera doesn't do them justice by any means!)
Indigofera Australis (Austral Indigo)
Pultenaea Gunni (Golden Bush Pea)
Pultenaea Daphnoides (Bush pea)

Hi Gina , Well im one that loves our Australian natives, I have a couple of Bottle brushes when the flower i will get a photo.
I love bottlebrush flowers, Jeanette! We have a couple in the front yard, one of which has been there since we moved in nearly 30 years ago. Back then we had a magnificent display of flowers every year, but it hasn't flowered now for years, even though it is still alive and green. I don't know if you're supposed to feed them or not...The others are fairly young and not big enough to put on a brilliant display. I'll look forward to seeing yours!
