Esperance Wildflower Festival

Celebrating Carnivorous Plants

The actual species on display differ a little each year, depending on seasonal factors and the timing of the festival. Collectors don’t just focus on the showy flowers – including all kinds makes a good demonstration of the diversity of our local flora possible.

The display will also include items of interest relevant to the theme of ‘Bugs and the Bush’, such as pupal cases from the leaf litter, galls, photos of insects interacting with plants, and cells of the mud-dauber wasps. There is also a small area of named weeds to highlight that they do not occur here naturally, and to assist members of the community to identify them.
