This area of the park was burned in 2019-2020. GlossyGal and I were impressed with this spring's floral display.

Is this species the one known as 'Purple Match-head' that we were talking about recently?

Hi Span102. Yes, this is the plant we were discussing. I call it 'purple' but the book, Native Plants of the Sydney Region by Fairley and Moore, refers to it as Pink Matchheads! The flowers we saw for this sighting were just beginning to open.
