Wildflowers

Western Australia is home to an exceptional array of over 12,000 species of wildflowers – almost two-thirds are unique to Western Australia. Each year, the Wildflower Season starts up in the Pilbara and North West in about June/July. This is heavily dependent on the weather, and factors such as rainfall and warm temperatures influence the Wildflower Season. As the year progresses and Spring sweeps down the Australian continent, the wildflowers begin to bloom.
