Milkmaids

Description:

Stylidium caricifolium 0.15-0.5 m high flowering September to November in the South West of Western Australia.So pretty and just starting to flower. The trigger is set behind the flower. This plant has 4 small throat appendages with red tips and 2 large wing shaped throat appendages. I am surprised at how hairy the small ones are. Named Caricifolium for its rush like leaves. Carici = rush folium = leaves.Photos: Fred
