Along the way to Albany we had seen a sign letting us know that we are now in ‘The Fitzgerald Biosphere’. "…a unique concept which includes one or more protected areas and surrounding lands that are managed to combine both conservation and sustainable use of natural resources."
‘Welcome to the Fitzgerald Biosphere’
Rain has been here recently and flowers spring up all over the place. Of course, the fact that it is spring does help.
'chittic'
'red bottlebrush'
'flowering bush'
'and another flowering bush'
Forgive us. Despite looking up several sources, books, tourist brochures, the Internet and even asking the locals, it would seem there are dozens of varieties. And there are at least as many sub-varieties of flowers, flowering bushes and trees, that fall within the definition of ‘Western Australian Wildflowers’. What one person calls a bottlebrush another calls a banksia. So, to the botanists out there: "Help!"
