Pigface is a small succulent groundcover plant, native to Australia, with several species growing in sandy coastal areas. This is the purple variety (see also PiP).

Small orchid

tiabunna has posted:

This is a small (about 125mm tall) native Australian orchid. A friend, who is knowledgeable on these matters, tells me it is a "Small Mosquito Orchid" (Acianthus exertus).

Red Midge Orchids

Today I went out and took more macro images of these little native orchids (the flower sections of the stem are typically less than 50mm long in total). Best viewed large (also see PiPs)

Mountain Devil

The Lambertia formosa, common name " Mountain Devil" is native to the eastern parts of NSW. Notice the resident ? (more visible in the PiP)

Mulla Mulla flowers

nobody@ipernity.com (tiabunna) — Wed, 27 Sep 2023 12:56:11 +0000

tiabunna has posted:

Mulla Mulla flowers are native to the arid inland areas across Australia. I'm fairly sure these are the Pink Mulla Mulla variety. We happened to be there at the right time to see many flowering. See also PiP.

Rock Isotome

tiabunna has posted:

These flowers are native to the dryer rocky areas of inland Australia, such as hillsides and gorges. I was very pleased to find them on the slopes of Baldy Top (see previous images).

Yellow Paper Daisy

nobody@ipernity.com (tiabunna) — Tue, 03 Jan 2023 11:40:18 +0000

tiabunna has posted:

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.

Flowering Lilli-pilli

nobody@ipernity.com (tiabunna) — Sat, 26 Nov 2022 10:59:15 +0000

tiabunna has posted:

Lilli-pilli trees are a native Australian evergreen plant that can be grown as a tree or hedge and mine are currently flowering. There are multiple varieties and all bear edible fruit. That said, from the tree the fruit is usually tart and best used for jellies and jams.

Australian Clematis flowers

nobody@ipernity.com (tiabunna) — Tue, 13 Sep 2022 11:27:27 +0000

tiabunna has posted:

Australia has 8 species of native Clematis flowers. Identification of each can be a little difficult, but I am fairly sure these are Clematis aristata, commonly known as "Travellers' Joy" or "Old Man's Beard". These are growing vigorously at present, as shown in the PiP both near the camera and, further distant, the bright white patch in the sunlight. The actual flowers are about 3-4 cm across.

Bush Pea

nobody@ipernity.com (tiabunna) — Sat, 26 Mar 2022 12:24:11 +0000

tiabunna has posted:

From my books, it appears this Australian native flower is known as "Wreath Bush Pea" or "Pultenaea tuberculata" for those who prefer botanical names. I took these images a few months ago, then promptly mislaid the memory card! :-)

Purple Violet

tiabunna has posted:

Another little native violet, currently flowering for spring. These are found on the east coast of Australia from Queensland to Victoria and also in Tasmania. The flowers are about 2cm across.

The duck family

nobody@ipernity.com (tiabunna) — Tue, 29 Sep 2020 12:22:17 +0000

tiabunna has posted:

I've finally caught up with our "local duck family", which neighbours had mentioned several times to me. These are Wood Ducks, common to much of Australia and nesting in the nearby park. They originally had seven chicks, but predators such as feral cats and foxes have reduced the family to five, all being closely monitored. See also the PiP. Best viewed large.

Thin Pencil Orchids

nobody@ipernity.com (tiabunna) — Tue, 15 Sep 2020 11:44:33 +0000

tiabunna has posted:

With great excitement, some friends invited me to take some photos of some native Australian orchids they had located in a nearby nature reserve. CORRECTION: I had the ID as Pencil Orchids, but these are not quite that. My friends have advised me that these are Thin Pencil Orchids (Dendrobium teretifolium), which grow on parts of the east coast. The flowers are about 20-30mm across. See also PiP and other image of the entire plant.

Wonga vine flowers in purple

nobody@ipernity.com (tiabunna) — Sat, 12 Sep 2020 02:22:03 +0000

tiabunna has posted:

Flowers on one of our Wonga Wonga (or just "Wonga") vines. The Wonga vine is a plant native to the east coast of Australia. In the wild the flowers are whitish to yellow, often with dark purple markings. They have been hybridised to give a range of colours for gardens (see also clickable PiPs). The tubular flowers are 10-25mm long.

Another native pea flower

These native flowers were growing near those in the previous image. Again there are several possibilities but I've put my thoughts, including the botanical name, in the keywords. Best viewed large.

A native pea flower

nobody@ipernity.com (tiabunna) — Tue, 08 Sep 2020 11:09:28 +0000

tiabunna has posted:

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.

Party Pink

nobody@ipernity.com (tiabunna) — Wed, 06 Nov 2019 06:52:12 +0000

tiabunna has posted:

A friend has given my wife a climbing plant with this lovely flower for our garden. It is an Australian native and the flower is about 60mm in width. I had never previously heard the commercial name "Party Pink", but the botanical name is Pandorea jasminoides. Here's a musical link that seems fairly appropriate.
