Hi,

Can anyone tell me what time of year here in Tassie that Scoparia flowers?

Thanks
Rick

I think it varies a bit, maybe depending on altitude? but I've seen it around Christmas and the first couple of weeks of January.
Here's some Christmas scoparia: http://strebor.gallery.netspace.net.au/ ... 6/Dscf4839

I asked a coleague once "when does the scaporia come out at the Walls?" she replied "usually when you are not there!!

I was surprised to find so much on Ben Lomond - superb Golden colour:

And you can drive there!!

It was also on Black Bluff
