Wildflowers at Pangarinda Arboretum

Australian native plants display an amazing variety of colours and shapes. One of our favourite gardens we like to visit on a regular basis is the Pangarinda arboretum at Wellington on the River Murray in South Australia. It is only a half hour drive from our home so we are frequent visitors.

This huge collection of Australian native plants has been planted and is maintained by an enthusiastic group of local people on land provided by the local council. It is open to the public every day at all hours through an unlocked gate. Note: please shut the gate after walking or driving through. This is to keep the local rabbit population out, which helps the plants to thrive.

Over recent days I have been showcasing photos of flowers taken on my most recent visit a few weeks ago. I’ll show more over the coming days.

Over recent days I have been showing photos of the flowers of Australian native plants growing in the Pangarinda Arboretum. This huge collection of plants is found at Wellington on the Murray river in South Australia, just over an hour’s drive south east of the capital Adelaide.

No matter what time of the year you visit there will be something flowering. Some of the most spectacular flowers are found on the various species of Banksias. Today I feature several of these wonderful blooms.Click on the photos to enlarge the image.

Pangarinda Arboretum is on the eastern side of the River Murray at Wellington, South Australia, just a short distance east of the ferry crossing. This large garden has been planted up and maintained by local native plant enthusiasts on land provided by the local council.

The huge collection of many thousands of plants from all over Australia always has something in flower, so every time we visit the camera is kept busy. The whole property is fenced to keep out rabbits, so if you ever visit, make sure the gate is securely closed. Entry is free at any time.
