I would love to know what everyone thinks of decorating your home with native Australian flowers.

Love them – Aussie through and through
They are okay, but in small portions
Nope, leave them in the bush

    If you can get your hands on waratahs they look spectacular in a vase. Red and white ones for Christmas would look amazing. Have always loved using penny gum as greenery in any floral arrangement too.

      I loathe DRIED Australian flowers only. Most people thing Australian flowers are those dead looking proteas ( usually they are from South Africa) or dull banksias.
      FRESH Aussie flowers are beautiful, and make a stunning display- Flannel flowers, wattle , NSW Christmas bush, flowering gum blossoms , waratahs , grevilleas etc

      I particularly like plain old eucalyptus in vases, smells fresh and lasts for ages

      Great on graves. The possums prefer to eat exotics first.

      We use cuttings from whatever is flowering in our garden for the house, Honey Gem grevillea is a favourite as they flower most of the year. Flowers are sooo expensive to buy!

      Fresh, definitely.

      Fresh sunflowers would be nice to grow for the house & apparently the seeds are good feed for laying hens too!
