We recently visited Kangaroo Island (part of South Australia) for 5 days/4 nights and these are some of the plants we came across while there.
A lot of the photos are not labeled as I'm not sure of what the plant is, or whether it was native or feral. Not all the plants were photographed on the Friday, I have allowed myself a little bit of 'floristic' licence.
 |
| Correa alba - White Correa. This was photographed at Victor Harbour on the mainland. |
 |
| A garden of very hardy types at Penneshaw. |
 |
| A local native grass and a lavender share a garden bed at Cape Willoughby Lighhouse. |
 |
| Euphorbia paralias - Sea Spurge (feral) These were growing on the coastal sand dunes. |
 |
| The Old Mulberry Tree, which was sent from England and planted by the South Australian Company in 1836. This was at the Reeves Point historic site, Kingscote. |
 |
| Both these plants were growing on coastal rocky banks, could be 'salt bushes'. (not sure) |
