wattle

This week I'm going with....Australian native flora.
I love wattle - The genus Acacia belongs to the family Mimosaceae. There are some 1350 species of Acacia found throughout the world and close to 1000 of these are to be found in Australia. Commonly known as Wattle, Acacia is the largest genus of vascular plants in Australia. Australia's national floral emblem is Acacia pycnantha, the Golden Wattle. Wattle Day is celebrated on the 1st of September each year.
I may well have a wattle month in one of my albums as Mount Annan has a wonderful wattle garden with examples of many different species.
