Plants of the day

Two winter-flowering plant on the verge today. In the foreground is the groovy Hakea francisiana, which is now a small tree, and in the background is Acacia shuttleworthii, which is a waist-high shrub with an inverted pyramid shape.

The Acacia came from the Kings Park plant sale, and is supposed to have cream flowers and grow in lateritic soils. Not sure what happened there, but its practically fluorescent with so many flowers.
