Mountain kunzea
Kunzea montana
The story
In the rugged, rocky heights of the Stirling Range National Park in Western Australia, the mountain kunzea has found its permanent sanctuary. As an uncommon species endemic to this specific south-western corner of the world, its survival is deeply tied to these protected mountain slopes. Here, the small trees and shrubs stand as a testament to localized adaptation, bursting into cream-coloured and pale yellow blooms each late spring.
