Nisha Khot (She/Her) Divine! I love magnolias. We have a (rareish) red wattle that’s flowering at the moment.

I planted a Golden Wattle (Acacia pycnantha, the floral emblem of Australia) on my nature strip three years ago, and it's flowering for the first time this year. This is the kind of gold I treasure.

Glorious Spring Day. Love my locale The yellow flowering tree is a "Wattle", the official flowering emblem of Oz. #Bathurst #BathurstNSW #NSWCentralWest #CentralWest #NSW #Australia

Happy National Wattle Day from Kaurna Country along the Torrens/Karrawirra Parri in the Adelaide Park Lands. The first celebration of Wattle Day was held on 1 September 1910 in Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide. It has a lot offer as the inclusive Australia Day. #wattle

Wattle Day in Australia It memorably appears as a symbol of resistance in Henry Lawson's 1891 poem, 'Freedom on the Wallaby' - a call to arms for striking Queensland shearers. To inspire the shearers, Lawson cited past struggles and acts of defiance, including the Eureka Stockade

Wattle we think of next?! 🍃 Happy #WattleDay! It's a day to celebrate a plant that's deeply rooted in Australia's history. But next time you see one of these bloomin' gorgeous plants, you'll be able to fascinate your unsuspecting companion with these facts! 🧵

1. Wattle they mean to us? The Golden Wattle (Acacia pycnantha) is Australia’s national floral emblem. We celebrate Wattle Day on 1 September every year. The wattle also inspired Australia’s sporting colours of green and gold.

2. Not all that wattles is gold Think wattles, and you probably think the round puffs of the Golden Wattle. But wattle flowers also come in a second form: cylindrical spikes. And there are some species that come in completely different colours. 📷 | julianaluna via iNaturalist

Last night the façade of Parliament House was illuminated in yellow to commemorate National Wattle Day. The Golden Wattle is our national floral emblem and is a symbol that comes directly from our land. It is a unifying symbol of Australia and Australians. 🇦🇺

With 1 September marking National Wattle Day, we celebrate the annual commemoration of the seasonal change by recognising our national floral emblem and all that it represents for the Australian people. Learn more about our national floral emblem: pmc.gov.au/honours-and-sy…

Happy (belated) #WattleDay 🌼🐜⁠ Did you know that in Central America, ants protect wattle trees by establishing colonies inside them. And in Australia, Acacia seeds are irresistible to ants, who stash them in their nests until they germinate ⁠📷️ Lisa Fontana⁠ #flora #wattle

A belated happy Wattle Day to Australians. Our own for our own. socialistmotherlandparty.blogspot.com/2023/09/austra…

Ok #OzPlant tweeps, got this fella which is confusing me. Phyllodes too broad for A.cultriformis or just variable? what else could it be? It's escaped a garden into bushland reserves. #Wattle #WattleDay
