There are over 400 flowering plant species found within Whiteman Park, with something in flower year-round. Of course, flowers are most abundant in Spring, when the Park bursts into colour!
Memorable wildflowers include the sprays of pink Swan River myrtle (Hypocalymma robustum) in late winter to early spring, the striking prickly mosses (Acacia pulchella), with its masses of yellow fluffy ball-like flowers in September and October and the brilliant orange/yellow feather flowers of the Morrison bush (Verticordia nitens) which flowers in early summer, producing fields of swaying golden colour.
We recommend picking up a copy of our Wildflowers booklet from the Visitor Information Centre, as it will help you to identify the more common flowering species within the Park.
