This is one of about 80 species making up the genus of Bossiaea , native only to Australia and found in all States. This species is from east coastal Australia and grows as a small shrub, flowering in Spring. The genus derives its botanical name from Boissieu de la Martinière, a doctor and plant collector who was a member of the La Perouse 1785-1788 expedition to the Australian coastline.

Out for a walk today, I was taken by this flower (10-12 cm tall) on a native Coastal Banksia tree in a nature reserve.

The flowers on this "Wattlebird Yellow" grevillea (a popular hybrid) were attracting the bees when I took these images (see also PiPs). Spring is certainly here now.

Today it struck me that I posted few flower images when I did the big outback trip earlier this year. This little flower was growing on the top of a large sand dune near Birdsville in western Queensland. I think it's a Butterfly bush (Petalostylus labicheoides).

This is an Australian native flower, between 25 and 50mm across. These were in our local Botanic Gardens and seemed (when taken) a good way to wrap up the year and to provide a bright first posting for 2023.

The wattles are having a spectacular flowering at present. I photographed this one up on the Southern Tablelands and thought at the time it was a Black Wattle. When I looked at the photos and compared them with the references, I realised it is a much less common Ovens Wattle, found only in a relatively small area up that way. An image of the whole tree in the PiP.

Eastern Australia has many native plant types with yellow pea-shaped flowers. I claim no expertise on plant ID, but I've had my guess in the Keywords. Either way, should anyone else wish to hunt for these, they were near the lookout in the Jerrawangala National Park that I showed a few images ago.

In Australia, the 1st of September is the beginning of the Spring season and is known as National Wattle Day, because the wattles (our national flower) are flowering. If I'm right with my ID, this is a Sweet Wattle (Acacia suaveolens). We saw these flowers in a National Park, during our recent drive.

Nasturtium flowers in full bloom would seem to confirm it.

The frangipanni tree is in full flower. Maybe view large. Here's a musical link.

The frangipanni flowers bloom at the height of summer. Explored.

Another native wildflower, with the unusual name "Orange Immortelle" (curse the translator at times- see heading) that enjoys the drier sandy areas of Australia, such as the Mallee area of Victoria. Explored.

We have had a very wet month, but I managed to grab this shot between showers. Explored. Here's a musical link, which may seem a little obscure to some. It becomes a little clearer at 5.23.

Eastern Yellow Robin. Reasonably common on most of Australia's east coast. Here's a musical link. Explored.

Fungi on rotting timber in temperate rainforest, NSW south coast. Explored.

Something different from my recent shots. HFF. Explored.

Seeing many of these oilseed crops on our travels. This music link will be no surprise. HFF. Explored.

[Edited] These flowers were growing on small shrubs in parts of the Tasmanian west coast. I had identified them as a Tasmanian native plant, but several ipernity members picked them as Canary Broom Genista monspessulana . After some research, I must agree with them. That means that these pleasant looking flowers belong to particularly invasive plant which has been declared a "Weed of National Importance": about as nasty as can be found..... At least I didn't try to collect any cuttings or seeds!
