The annual Kings Park Festival held over the month of September includes spectacular displays of Western Australian Wildflowers in bloom. In addition to the well-known favourites such as Splendid Everlastings, Kangaroo Paws, Grevilleas, Banksias, Swan River Daisies, Leschenaultia, etc., this year I have also included many unique varieties which may not be so familiar. Celebrate Spring as you view these magnificent wildflowers on display at Kings Park Festival.

Wildflowers of Western Australia, including Everlastings, Kangaroo Paw, Boronia, Sturt's Desert Pea, Wattle, Featherflower, Qualup Bell, Eremophila, Geraldton Wax, Verticordia, Grevillea, Hakea, and many other species, make a colourful display at the 2008 Kings Park Festival. Of special interest is the 750 year-old Giant Boab (Adansonia gregorii) which was recently transported over 3,200 kms from the Kimberley Region as a gift from the Indigenous Gija people to the people of Western Australia. 'Gija Jumulu' is a majestic tree which will hopefully adjust to its new location and live for many more years.
