Sturt’s desert pea by pusspup

Sturt’s desert pea

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.
Such cute flowers.

Unusual and rather alien looking flowers! with the two large black eyes in their bright red bodies !

Wonderful capture of these unusual but lovely looking flowers. I hope you managed to find a replacement somewhere.

they are fabulous flowers :)

@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!

Terrific looking flower! It’s beautiful. So unusual, I’ve never seen anything like it.

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.

Looking like aliens that landed in the garden.

Incredible flowers… they look rather large.

Oh my goodness they look like what I might imagine to be a Martian with those popping eyes

@nannasgotitgoingon I know strictly this is not the emblem of the NT but we passed through a lot of SA to get to Alice !
June 4th, 2024  
That is a most unusual flower. Great capture of it though.
