Mullewa in Western Australia is one of the areas you will find the wreath flower which is 4,201km (2,610 miles) from Tasmania (home). We visited this area a few years back only once.
The Wreath Flower (Lechenaultia macrantha) is known as such because of its unusual circular shape. It grows well in disturbed areas, and so is commonly found on road verges, gravel pits or areas that have been recently burnt. Time to see them in flower is springtime. We stayed on the coast at Geralton, Western Australia and took the trip to Mullewa which is 98 km one way to see these flowers which are protected.
I must admit is was a beautiful feeling to be able to see these flowers and take photos of them. That particular year there were not heaps of them to be seen.
