The wildflowers of the Wolli Valley

Over 260 species of native plants have so far been identified in the bushland areas of the Wolli Valley.

Because the valley contains the last sizeable sample of the original bushland of inner south-west Sydney, its genetic stock is of great interest to botanists.

Whatever the season, something's in flower, but late winter or early spring are the best times to see wildflowers.
