    Nice shot, contrasted against the dark background. My gardens here in eastern Australia are full of these natives -many insects love them as they are vital habitat and a food source for numerous species. And our First Nation peoples utilise pretty much all the plant for food and making items such as bags. I read that the flowers taste like peas (but haven't tried them yet). Posted one month ago
