Do you love this Australian native?
I hasten to add it’s one of my favourites.
Its botanical name is Epacris Longiflora, though many call it Fuchsia Heath, and it grows wild in the bushland park where Chicki and I take our daily walk.
Right now it’s near its peak, and is a true sights for sore eyes, especially when its captured by the light.
Closely related to the spectacular floral emblem of Victoria, Epacris Impressa, for my money its beauty is hard to surpass.
What do you think?

I’ve never seen such pretty elongated trumpets before now. The standard fuschia is beautiful but these look more delicate. xxx Hugs xxx

Beautiful! Too bad we don’t have this in Canada otherwise humming birds will really love this! I wonder where can I buy some seed here?
Sorry, I don’t know if it’s available overseas. It’s not common in cultivated gardens here in Australia. It thrives in the bush!!
That is OK. 🙂
