The late September holiday weekend usually coincides with the peak of Perth’s annual springtime wildflower “explosion”.
Not in 2019: very low rainfall in August and September prompted many plants to flower early…or not at all.
At any time of year some things are in flower, but if you wish to experience Perth’s 2019 Spring wildflowers, head to places like this post’s destination very soon!

As I type, some Kangaroo Paws and Catspaws are still vibrant, as are some orchids, but the latter are much less profuse and less conspicuous than they usually are in late September.
