Wonga Vine in flower at bushland reserve

2 September 2016

WONGA VINE (Pandorea pandorana)


The spectacular native "Wonga Vine" (Pandorea pandorana) is in flower at the moment at the Charles & Motee Rogers Bushland Reserve, Highfields. These perfumed yellow flowers are delightful and can be observed at the edges of the reserve near the library carpark and also along O'Brien Road near the cnr of Community Court. This gorgeous vine, loved by honeyeater birds, only flowers for a couple of weeks in the year - so if you get a chance, stop and observe it all of it's glory.

Thanks to Genevieve Lyons from Queensland Plant Identification Group, for the assistance with the i.d. of this beautiful native plant.
