Title: SW Australia: petrophile? verticordia?
Post by: Diane Whitehead on February 24, 2012, 07:42:53 AM

I was in Western Australia in the spring of 2008, and can't believe
how many of my flower pictures I haven't yet identified.  Every
time I give a talk, I identify some more, usually just to the genus.
(if it's yellow, call it a hibbertia).

These were in the Stirling Range.

The white fuzzy one doesn't look like the verticordias I saw, but it
doesn't seem to be a conospermum and those are the only two
fuzzy ones I know.

I have not been there and can't help with these (I actually have a Western Aust Wild Flowers book. Must look in that) but WA does have an incredibly diverse and beautiful flora. Everyone should go there at last once, especially if they have two grandcildren living in Perth. ::)
