Australia — Golden Wattle Print | Botanical Wall Art UK

Australia declared the Golden Wattle (Acacia pycnantha) its national flower on 1 September 1988, and September 1st is now observed annually as National Wattle Day. The golden pom-pom flower heads — technically clusters of hundreds of tiny individual flowers — bloom across southern Australia from late winter into spring, transforming the dry bush into something briefly and improbably joyful. There are over 960 Acacia species native to Australia; the Golden Wattle was chosen as most representative of all of them, its rich yellow and deep green matching the national sporting colours.
