I am almost certain that today’s hero is a fellow member of the genus Patersonia, but not the same species as those in #7 through #9 in this series.
To me, it remains a UFO – an unknown flowering organism.
If you can positively identify it, I’d be glad to be enlightened, and would then update this post.
(I have a hunch that it could be Patersonia rudis. At 10.03 am on 30 October 2023 it was flowering in damp ground, circa 100 kilometres southeast of Perth, in wandoo woodland, east of Albany Highway)
Coming up next: this series’ tallest and toughest hero.
