Flowers in season in August in Australia

August is the end of winter and the lead-in to spring. Daffodils, tulips, ranunculus and wattle are all at market, cherry blossoms open in Sydney and Canberra late in the month, and WA wildflowers are hitting their stride. National Wattle Day is 1 September, so golden wattle is everywhere by the last week. Being confirmed
