#native rose

The Rose. Opened as the Native Rose Hotel in 1878, and the facade has barely changed since. Somewhere along the way the word "Native" was dropped from the name. Well known for its unusual, fading ceiling murals of cherubim and seraphim. In a pub? WTF? Chippendale.

AKA Southern Native Rose. It’s not in the rose family. 

A very attractive shrub, up to 2m tall, in the Rue or Citrus family (Rutaceae), named from the Greek for double-cloaked 'diploos' 'chlaina'  in reference to the double row of bracts that envelope the flower, and English pirate and explorer William Dampier. It and the other 14 species are all WA endemics. 

It’s pollinated by a variety of insects and birds, and grows widely, but never in abundance, on coastal limestone & dunes, granite rocks from Perth down to Augusta at the extreme SW corner of the continent.

There were so many different colours and textures mixed together, we spent such a long time taking pictures and just enjoying the flowers. Very hard to leave these behind, I would happily go back on this walk just to see these flowers again.

I never can clean all the grass gunk (for lack of a better word, and believe me, I’ve been on Google looking) off the underside of the mower.…
