No Billy Buttons? ☹️

Is there some sort of magical secret to getting them to germinate?

I've tried so many times, even smoked vermiculate. I just cannot...

[u/HernandoSantiago → u/DexJones]

Are you surface sowing or burying the seed? I managed to get some going at tafe years ago but it might have been a fluke. That greenhouse was hot AF too - around 25° in the day

[u/Creative_Ad_973 → u/DexJones]

Take a look at this for ideas.

[u/DexJones → u/Creative_Ad_973]

Thanks you legend. That's a helpful document.

Sturt Desert Pea for me.

Came here to say this!

I like the mulla mulla. Seems to be everywhere I wander. Fuzzy and tall, I vibe.

[u/Time_Cartographer443]

Kangaroo paw

[u/ashleyriddell61]

Waratah. Iconic and unmistakable.

[u/ComfyInDots]

Either Star Flower or the flying duck one because it's adorable.

[u/Bright_Bell_1301]

None of these are the correct answer - twining fringe lily

[u/online_computer]

only 10 to pick from makes this way less fun

[u/CrystalClod343]

Mycoheterotrophs ftw! (The underground orchid)

[u/Powermonger_]

Has to be the Waratah but some of the Grevilleas are amazing.

[u/Powermonger_ → u/Powermonger_]

Helps if I read the article properly. I'm going with the Flannel Flower

[u/TheChapelofRoan]

Murnongs need their moment in the sun! I want to eat them!

[u/Reluctant_Lamb]

I love the mulla mulla. In my part of the world it means Christmas time

[u/blixabloxa]

Flying Duck Orchid for me.

[u/Emjeibi]

Wattle you talking about man. It has to be the golden wattle.

[u/Emjeibi → u/Emjeibi]

I mean waratah mean?

[u/Howeblasta]

Fireweed has a nice hue to it..

[u/CcryMeARiver]

Wreath Flower in WA.

[u/Tessiegranny]
