Yorgum – Red flowering gum (Corymbiaficifolia ficifolia)
April and May is the Djeran season, offering relief from a hot summer. The nights are cooler with a dewy presence in the early mornings. It is also the season of change, bringing an abundance of red flowers, especially from Yorgum, the red flowering gum (Corymbiaficifolia ficifolia), endemic to the southwest of Western Australia.
Bulgalla (Banksia menziesii) display their flowers, providing nectar food sources for birds and small mammals. Ants flying in the light breezes provide food for small birds, lizards, and bats.
The Noongar six seasons calendar, which shows Djeran, guides us to observe changes in nature to better understand plants and animals, and better care for Country to conserve biodiversity.
