Each of the headline’s descriptors applies to one or more of this post’s species – all blooming a deal less than a kilometre away from both a large shopping centre and one of Perth’s arterial roads.

All photos in this post were taken on September 16, 2016, within a few metres of one road, a little off the Stirling Range’s eastern end.
