Tephrosia bidwillii
We have very few local plants with bright orange flowers.

This pretty little fellow was flowering last week.
It's a herb which grows among grasses in open woodlands on our local black soils, (often on hillsides), as well as on sandstone soils.

The plant looks as though it might have potential in gardens. So far as I know, no attempt has been made to cultivate it, so little is known of its growth habit.
Has anyone out there grown it? I'd like to hear from you!
