Spring is announced by the appearance of tiny flowers in the bush.

On the nearby Budderoo Plateau, at Barrens Grounds Nature Reserve, as each week passes more new blooms herald warmer days.

Often the first too emerge are the parrot peas, boronia, heath and everlastings. Some occur fleetingly, whilst others might remain present for weeks.
