SA September

Flowers in season in South Australia now

South Australia's floral emblem is Sturt's desert pea, which flowers in the arid north after rain. Closer to Adelaide, the hills grow roses, proteas and cool-climate cut flowers, and the Adelaide Botanic Garden is one of the oldest in the country. Adelaide shoppers can buy at the wholesale produce market on public days. Being confirmed
