Citharexylum Spinosum aka Fiddlewood

Recently, the National Parks department planted a dozen or so of these plants along a section of my walk route. A sign on one of the trees labelled them as Citharexylum spinosum, also known as Fiddlewood.

After settling in their new environment, they grew quite steadily, and they were blooming before too long. Flowers are small, in a cluster and fragrant. They attract bees and butterflies.

Fiddlewood are perennials and they bloom all year long. So they are a very welcome addition along the walk route. I get to see more butterflies and also enjoy the nice fragrant of the flowers.

According to one website, these plants need only average water, are drought tolerant and need low maintenance – characteristics very suitable for the climate here.

Bees and butterflies like attracted to the flowers. I managed to snap a picture of these before the it flew away.
