Some enchanting trees there Seldom! Great photos that last phyllode is incredible are the black dots bugs of some sort or ants?
Seldom
Wiradjuri
they're actually little rasps which cover the whole phyllode leading out to 'teeth' on its margins [hence 'denti'culosa], they're really solid and stiff aswell, making it's surface fairly abrasive, hence the name 'sandpaper wattle'. it's quite a rare one.
also looking at it today i think the unknown #6 may be A. merinthophora, the 'Zig Zag wattle'

recently bought a decent camera to try and refine my wattle photography. very happy with the results thus far! just visited wilson's promontory in victoria.. some beautiful wattles there. lots of bonding with the various forms of longifolia I came into contact with along the way!

thanks shadow 
a good quality camera certainly makes a difference at capturing nature's beauty that is for sure!

If you don't make mistakes, you are doing it wro
Yes, but I realise a quick look at my previous posts would tell :dDreaMTripper said:Nice pics and nice plants! One appears to have an eyeball! :surprised
So full of life, that was a month ago. They are full of seed at the moment.
They are very early flowering, perhaps that is a good clue to find them.....
I wonder why they contain DMT. :roll:

been a while since i've visited this thread but thanking everyone for their stunning contributions.. Gowpen.. your acuminatas are looking beautiful.. the flowers look like they must smell amazing.. here's a few from around the dandenong ranges..
the first three pictures, as if descending from the heavens are of course Acacia Floribunda.. (i loved the unusually broad phyllodes and gentle weeping habit of this one), followed then by a broader leafed variety of acacia mucronata subs. longifolia which in turn seems to be reaching towards the heavens, followed then by a strange form of mucronata which seems to be intermediate with floribunda (distinguished from floribunda by the shorter less abundant infloresence but in ways possessing similar foliage.. usually found on roadsides or small park reserves around the area)
the final pic is acacia oxycedrus

Is there any particular reason I cannot see 70% of the pictures on nexus?hey all, thought I'd make a thread where people can bask in the beauty of the Acacia and Mimosa species. really been enjoying researching the acacia trees over the past year and along the way have gotten some really nice photos and thought I'd share. Hope to see some photos from all you wattle/mimosa-heads
I'll get the ball rolling... the first four are of Acacia Longifolia .. more to come. This is a good tryptamine candidate if you can find the right strain
