Wildflowers of Western Australia

Curry Flower
Lysinema ciliatum

Nutrient intake from the poor soil is assisted by a fungus buddy in its roots.
This causes a strong curry aroma from the small white flowers.

Indigenous to W.A.

The vine of this plant can be up to 2 metres long and used by Aborigines as string and rope, to bind and sew.

SCARLET RUNNER
Kennedia prostrata

Sweet nectar was sucked from the flowers.

Winter Spider Orchid
Caladenia drummondii

This tiny orchid is one of the first to appear each year.
