Throughout the East Coast and Ranges of NSW and Southern Queensland you will find this native pea-shrub known as Dogwood (Jacksonia scoparia). It is a nondescript, weedy sort of thing when not flowering but when in flower it is a profusion of orange-yellow with burgundy hearts.
I have never seen so many of these anywhere as I see around the Armidale area, and there are a good many of these growing up and down the roadside at Ground Zero for this cache, hence the name.
It isn't generally grown in gardens but I think it deserves to be. This species flowers in late spring and makes a good pressed flower that retains its colour, though short-lived as a cut flower.
One of the things I love about Hillgrove is the many species of wildflowers growing out here. If you explore the cemetery at the right time of year you'l find at least 3 species of orchid. We have many pea-flowers including the well-known Hardenbergia clinging to the rocks and also growing on the ground at GZ. Correa grows natively around the edges of the gorge, in poor soil and exposed to strong wind. Mosses and lichens adorn the rocks in riots of orange, bright green and grey green. We have some rare trees about, and our own endemic species of spotted gum, called the Hillgrove Gum. You will find a number of these planted around the streets in the village, particularly around the old Post Office.
Jacksonia Scoparia shrub at GZ, NOT in flower, so you can identify them out of season. The leaves are flat and strap-like, providing an unusual texture and visual aspect as a potential garden plant.
