Plants of the Camden Haven Area. 7th Sept 2012



The Camden Haven area on the mid north coast, is one of our favourite spots in the state, and it was here that we spent a couple of days to relax and unwind after a couple of stressful weeks due to the illness and passing away of Lynn's mother.
We spent Friday doing a walk around the 'Flower Bowl' track in the Kattang Nature Reserve and driving to a couple of spots in the adjoining Crowdy Bay National Park.
 I'm sorry that I can't name some of these plants as they are new to me, I've stepped a little out of my comfort zone.

  1. Whatvisvthe name of the yellow Pea. It is flowering well at Kiata at the moment.
    So are a few others you have photographed. I liked the Banksia with sea in the background. Is that pink pig face a native?

    1. The yellow pea (Golden Glory Peas) belongs to the genera Gompholobium, but I haven't worked out the species yet. Yes the Pigface is native and can be found all along the coast.
