13 Best Australian Native Plants | Experience Travel

Australian native plants and flowers are unique. Thousands of years of isolation from the rest of the world, helped to shape them into exotic shapes and colours. Where else would you be able to reach out and eat a pig face flower or lick the sweet nectar of a grevillea?
Whenever I bring groups from abroad, I love to introduce them to the local fauna and flora. it helps them to better understand the country and explore new flavours and scents. It also produces some of the best travel photos.
When shooting a video, I also capture beautiful photos of landscapes, people and food. These photos, along with more stories, are posted on MY WEBSITE:
www.so50.org/
You can also follow me on Instagram, where I post additional photos and short videos whenever I come across something interesting. My IG:

I have enjoyed the clip very much. I will be in Australia soon to live and work in the horticulture sector soon. Can't wait .

[@SO50fun]

Hello Ali. I am sure you will enjoy seeing these and more Aussie plants. Hope you have a lovely trip.

[@sykotika13thirteen]

Have you arrived here yet?

[@daina12000]

Hi Ali - are you in Australia yet? I hope you have a wonderful time.

[@MrWahTube]

love it if you included the grass tree & wollemi pine! needing a part 2. great video

[@SO50fun]

Hey Brydon... I agree they should be included. Will keep it in mind for a next video! ;)

[@FelixMeister]

I hope that one day you get to come to WA in November-December when Nuytsia Floribunda is in bloom. It's truly magnificent.

[@SO50fun]

@FelixMeister I had never heard of Nuytsia Floribunda... what a gorgeous flower. One more reason to come to WA! Thank you so much for the tip!

[@pereiraheloisa6280]

So beautiful and magnifique !! 👌

[@SO50fun]

Thank you Heloisa. Glad you enjoyed them...

[@daina12000]

Hi . Just saw your video reviewed by Ryan Was. Very nice. I think you might need a part 2 with plants like Lemon Myrtle and pepperberry.

[@SO50fun]

Hey Daiana, thanks for letting me know. I do have a much loved lemon myrtle at home and have cooked with pepperberries. I was planning to record part 2 but, as @ryanwas commented, the number of followers and likes I got with part 1 were a bit disappointing... Glad you enjoyed it.

[@jeanhill3387]

I, too, loved this video that I saw when it was reviewed by Ryan Was and I sorry that it wasn't so well received. I'm certainly going to look for your other videos. Thanks for such a lovely peaceful video.

[@daina12000]

@@SO50fun I was surprised that you got so few views too - there are a lot of plant/garden videos on youtube, and yours was well done and looks professionally edited. ... I hope you get some more followers. - and yes - I agree with jeanhill3387 - It is a lovely and peaceful video.

​@@jeanhill3387 I moved to Australia 5 years ago and understanding its plants, helped me to understand and connect to the land at a much deeper level. Walking around and recognising plants and knowing the secrets they hide, is almost like meeting old friends again. I am happy you enjoyed the film. Other films i really like are Flying Like a Bird and Mosaic of Life. Have a look, both on my channel. Enjoy!

[@SO50fun]

@@daina12000 the issue with low views/following is that you start wondering if anyone is actually liking your work. It takes many hours and research to create a video like that, so you start focusing on other activities... Glad you enjoyed it. Perhaps I will start editing new films after all. :))

I am a gardener here to learn and maintain plants for my clients

@@SO50fun yes! I don't know how you could pick. so hard to choose

[@SO50fun]

@@redfulla1494 I recently bought an Aussie chocolate lily. Have you ever 'smelled' one? It does smell like chocolate

[@redfulla1494]

@@SO50fun I never actually expected it to smell like chocolate hahaha. that's great!

You should fund an Australian Native Seed bag to sell. I would buy a few for my land

[@SO50fun]

That's a lovely idea. Where is your land?
