August and September are the best times to see peas in the Park. Dillwynia, Aotus, Eutaxia, Davesia and Bossiaea species put on a dazzling show of yellow and red pea flowers. You will find them in our heathy areas of the Park.
These medium to small shrubs are great habitat for birds.
Aotus ericoides – Common Aotus Aotus ericoides – Common Aotus Dillwynia sericea – Showy Parrot-pea Davesia ulicifolia ssp. ulicifolia Eutaxia microphylla var. diffusa – Spreading Eutaxia Eutaxia microphylla var. diffusa – Spreading Eutaxia Bossiaea cinerea – Showy Bossiaea Bossiaea cinerea – Showy Bossiaea
The seed pods of Bossiaea cinerea are almost as decorative as the flowers and once the seeds are expelled, make good homes for the tiny Orb Weaving Spider.
