Acacia boormanii is blooming like crazy in my garden right now.  At about tree years old this is its first intense flush.  Its gray-green whispy leaves compliment the buttercup yellow flowers oh so nicely, which aren't showing any signs of stopping, (we're going on three weeks now).  try boormanii in a succulent garden, with blue or purple to really make it pop. or with other australian natives like Grevillea or Leucadendron for an architectural modern arrangement. yuuuummmmmm!!!!  

Acacia boormanii prefers full sun, (although mine is in half sun about half the year) and doesn't seem to mind sandy nutrient deficient soil.  it's also drought tolerant, making it an easy and fantastic choice for a california garden.  

***This particular plant is east-facing in my upper haight garden.***
