There is nothing more Australian than wattle.  The Golden Wattle is the symbol of Australia and it's at it's best at the moment, everywhere you go there is a blaze of bright yellow.  I've just been for a walk down by the Warrandyte River, Victoria with my dog.....  the wattle is simply suburb.

If you're a wattle fan and want to see a great Open Garden with a huge variety of wattle species then go to http://esther-brueggemeier.artistwebsites.com/.  Esther has an open day next weekend, see details below.....
