Interesting, but very formal arrangements of the Sturt Desert Pea.
Here is a link to some photos of the real thing.

Unfortunately, they are not the easiest plants to grow in the home garden … I put in some seeds and have a little patch smothered in easy to identify weeds … no desert peas! Before I try again I am going to find some pre-emergence spray so that I will be able to see any strange plants coming up.
Thank you for the link, Judy! I have never seen this cool looking plant! 🙂

Laura,
I have seen way more photos than the plant in real life, but Mum had some growing in the backyard when I was growing up. Not the easiest plant to grow in a garden … grows much better in desert regions.

I really like the second design. This is a fascinating plant. I enjoyed reading up about it after seeing your previous quilt designs with this plant as a basis.

Cindy,
Thank you. It is a stunning plant in full flower, and it makes a great impact as South Australia’s state emblem.
