Friday Flower
The cactus pea, or cactus bossiaea, grows in mallee and low, open woodland, and on rocky outcrops across much of southern Australia.
It flowers between July and November, and will often flower again after seed has set if it gets rain after a dry period.

I’ve written a book based on one of my summers working as a seabird ecologist in #Antarctica

It’s a science-based travelogue about living and doing research in the remotest place on Earth, with just 1 other human and 3,000 Adélie #Penguins for company
