In Australia the 1st of September is National Wattle Day, where Aussies celebrate Australia, and what it is to be Australian. G'day to all Aussies, and all Aussies at heart.

The image accompanying this poem is of a Golden Wattle, the National Floral emblem of Australia. It is a glowing yellow coloured flowering tree/shrub made up of many tiny balls of golden yellow. From the National Wattle Day website: Golden Wattle is a unifying symbol of Australia and Australians. There is no other symbol that says so much about what it takes to survive and thrive in this ancient land; Wattles are Australian with great diversity (more than 1,077 described Acacia species) and resilience like our people; Wattle welcomes the spring, and is among the first plants to regenerate after fire, reminding us of the importance of renewal as it paints our national colours across our landscapes; and All wattles remind us of Australia and Australians. Text: Open Window Through the open window stale winter air is drawn replaced by the freshness of spring Through the open window sounds of transition, drift the worn, well-used, replaced Through the open window fragrances of awakening blooms replace the damp of enclosure Through the open window what was, replaces what can be an open window, a threshold moment © Aj d’Wit - 1 September 2026 (Wattle Day in Australia)

Happy #WattleDay! It’s not just the first day of Spring in the Southern Hemisphere, but it’s also a day to especially celebrate Australia’s more than 1000 species of acacia.

We’ve known #wattle makes for a great ambassador for a long time—and it certainly travelled around the world quickly!

3. Each flower head is actually made up of many tiny flowers 🌼

These clusters of individual flowers are called ‘inflorescences’.

The yellow flowers of an Acacia falciformis with whitish anthers against their flat, matt-green phyllodes. A caption tells us: Each flower head is actually made up of many tiny flowers.

2. Not all wattles are yellow ☀️

A few species produce purplish and crimson flowers, like this Acacia inaequilatera.
