Alyogyne huegelii 'West Coast Gem'


Alyogynes are members of the mallow family and all species are found in West Australia or South Australia.  Alyogyne huegelii 'West Coast Gem' is a cultivar of a SA species with a profusion of purple flowers.  The flowers only last a day or 2 but there are usually a number of them in succession.  Incidentally the yellow flower behind the Alyogyne is a Yarrow (Achillea) with grey foliage.
