Notes on local flowering times
Please help us by pointing out errors, omissions, typos, ...

Note 12th October 2015
Monthly flowering pages are hidden for a rebuild - hopefully we will be back soon!

1. These flowering pages are based on observations taken over the last few years. They include most of the species commonly called 'wildflowers'.
2. The data available through the FloraBase search page has also been used, but modified with local knowledge, as FloraBase only lists those species which have been vouchered, and sometimes does not have correct flowering times for our region.
3. What is the point of bothering to take local observations? Because our nursery is based on the local native remnant bushland of our region, we become more familiar with it, learning about where particular species grow, in what habitats, ... : we engage with the biodiversity of our local area. Our licenced collectors prepare for taking seed and cutting material for nursery propagation.
   
4. We value any contributions to the flowering pages. Please let us know of any changes you think should be made based on your observations.
5. We are also always in need of better photographs of our local plant species. We'd prefer photographs of species that you know, but any photographs are worthwhile particularly if you can tell us an approximate location and date of photograph so that we can check the exact species. By working with us in this way, you can learn more about our local flora.
6. On the whole, monocots are sadly neglected in these pages, mainly because of our poor ID skills with the monocots, including the Orchidaceae. When people talk of 'wildflowers', they mostly mean the dicots or eudicots.
