Wreath Flower, Leschenaultia macrantha. Near Mullewa, mid west, Western Australia.
Also called Wreath Leschenaultia, these spectacular flowers emerge each spring, loved by locals and visitors alike. We’d spent years looking forward to seeing one of these plants in the wild. As we walked towards this one, we knew that something special was here - a small group of people stood around it, cameras clicking busily. We stopped and joined them. And there it was, sitting in the dry sand by the red dirt track, quietly enjoying the sun. - WENDY
