This magnificent Oxalis is native to Mexico. Last year it produced only a single flowering spike. This is quite a bit of a change from that.

Diuris magnifica - Pansy Orchid

(with Hardenbergia growing through it)

There are some stunning wildflowers out in Perth bushland at the moment, I hope you make the most of this great weather and check them out!

The spot on the map is accurate - Craigie bushland just near Craigie leisure centre. There's a fantastic array of stuff flowering at the moment, and you can take your dog for a walk too.
