Mullewa - Wreath Flower and other Wildflowers




















We drove from Geraldton to Mullewa to see the remarkable Wreath Flowers which are only found in this area. We were fortunate they were in full bloom and stunned at how they survive in such arid conditions, beside the road in full sun with no shade.

They were scattered along a kilometer of roadside, some individual plants, and others in small groups as shown.



























The surrounding bush was alive with other wildflowers and we had a wonderful afternoon wandering around discovering different plants. I have included photos of some of the wildflowers we saw.






















This plant is named the "Mullewa Rose"
