User's notes

The walk today was alive with wattles - and lots of different species of wattles now I am taking notice of that. This was the weirdest. Planted, about 20 years old. It was weeping, has thorns and weird little leaves and tiny flowers.

Yeah they're a local wattle, that you'll definitely know if you accidentally walk into them XD. I think they get the species name 'paradoxa' because of how strange their leaves are/how strange the plant is generally
