One of the most common flowering shrubs in the Park are the yellow buttercups of the Hibbertia family.
There are five hibbertia species found within the Park and we’d challenge you to try to find the differences between them! The most common is the common yellow buttercup (Hibbertia hypericoides) which is a prolific flowerer. Bobtail lizards and other fauna dine on the flowers and fruit of this vibrant species.
Whiteman Park acknowledges the Wadjuk Noongar people as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work, learn and play and acknowledge the significance of Korndiny Karla Boodja (Bennett Brook) at the heart of the Park.
