First flowering since our forest was burnt in Sept 2018. Shrubs were slow to recover due to continued drought for another 18 months or so post-fire and grazing pressure. I saw both resprouting and seedling plants after the fire of this species, so I am not sure which this is. Although this photo lacks the usual leaf-like bracts enclosing the base of the flower of var reflexa, that is the only var present on our place. Var speciosa is more coastal in distribution.
