Red-stemmed Wattle Flowers

This is the Red-stemmed wattle, Acacia myrtifolia. This shrub can grow up to 3m, although, where I see them growing, they are usually only reach around 1 to 1.5 metres. They have beautiful wattle blooms in late winter and spring as can be seen in the photo below. The flowers can range from creamy white to pale yellow. In an Australian native garden, wattles produce seeds, and attract insects, both of which will help to attract birds into the garden
