Kangaroo Paw




The bush tracks in Kings Park are full of wild flowers at the moment as it is wildflower season and Kings Park celebrates it's yearly spring festival. These beautiful Kangaroo Paws were blooming in abundance and the hairy stems and flowers always make me want to touch them. Kangaroo Paws are only native to the south west of Western Australia. There are all kind of color variaties but the Red and Green Kangaroo Paw was proclaimed the floral emblem of Western Australia in 1960.
