This is a growing list of native wildflowers and plants growing naturally on my property in Central Australia. I currently have more than 60 species and many more are still being identified.

My handmade jewellery is created using botanicals I have carefully handpicked, dried and preserved. Every piece is one of a kind — a way of sharing my love for Central Australia while honouring and preserving its unique botanical diversity.
