Tolmie rocky clearing in December, 2014. Wildflowers include everlastins, native dogwood, teatree of 3 different species, native pelargoniums..

Native dogwood (Cassinia aculeata) - a fast-growing, hardy, narrow-leafed, open shrub grows to 4 m high.It produces a striking dense, domed spray of white flowers in summer..

Cassinia has aromatic foliage and is frequently used as a specimen plant in native gardens..

It is also often used for dried flower arrangements..

The seeds are wind dispersed and it is often a pioneer species after fire or other disturbance.
