It’s more likely to see this state emblem in town than out in the wild. It grows well as a street flower here so I snapped these beauties outside the shop where we were trying unsuccessfully to get a replacement satellite phone.
@ludwigsdiana still working on it thanks Diana but I think we might have found something. We've had one for years and now the satellite has failed so we need to replace it (phone, not satellite)! And of course, everyone else using that system has to do so too, so its hard to get something.
That's something I had never considered might happen - the actual satellite failing. How very annoying for you - hope you can get something you're happy with. I love your image of one of my favourite flowers - just iconic!
Is this in Alice Springs? Their street plantings of Sturt peas are the best I've ever seen. Friends of ours have just had the same problem with their sat phone.
