In flower today at Hillsborough Dog Show Grounds is the Hardenbergia (Hardenbergia violacea) it’s an Australian native. Also known as false sarsaparilla, purple coral pea and waraburra, purple twining-pea, vine-lilac and wild sarsaparilla. It grows in eastern Queensland, eastern New South Wales, south-eastern Victoria and southern South Australia and one spot in Tasmania. It is a prostrate or climbing subshrub with bunches (racemes) of really pretty purple flowers. This one is climbing on a little wattle. I may try digging up a runner as I lost mine two years ago. #flowers #flower #abcmygarden #austraeliannative #ausnatives #ausnative #purple #vine #winterflowering (at Hillsborough) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg3tOzXP6No/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Australian Bluebell, Tall or Austral Bluebell (Wahlenbergia stricta ) this really tiny flower is a native Australian wildflower. Apparently it’s quite common but it’s so tiny you may well miss it . It’s found in all Australian states but not the Northern Territory. Often seen growing by the side of the road, enjoying the extra runoff. This one was growing in our lawn so I rescued from the mower. #mygarden #flowers #ausnative #ausnatives #australiannatives #australiangardens #australiangarden #bluebells #australianbluebell (at Belmont, New South Wales, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYgB0Q3pSmS/?utm_medium=tumblr
