Description

This Freylinia lanceolata shrub demonstrates its preference for watercourses by flourishing almost inside a stream bed near Worcester.

It flowers golden yellow and honey-scented (justifying its honey-bells common name), among the bare rocks where most plants have given up the struggle of getting a foothold against the force of the occasional heavy inundations.

Long narrow leaves and long, thin, tubular flowers go with the flow of water and wind; and life is good.
