Colour us surprised when we saw this lovely native rice flower variety! Not the usual white, this one's a sunset-shaded palette of ochre yellow and dusky pink which recreates the feel of an outback red road. Butterflies and beneficial insects love this plant and will repay your kindness by eating all the bad bugs and pollinating your veggies.
