Australian natives -- golden wattle
Why are you reporting this puzzle?
The Golden Wattle (Acacia pycnantha) was proclaimed as the national floral emblem in 1988, although the green and gold have been our official national colours since 1984. Wattle Day is celebrated on 1 September each year.
It’s said the wattle was the first plant to bloom in Hiroshima after the tragic events of 1945. Each year the Australian National Botanic Gardens in Canberra receives 1,000 yellow ribbons from the Hiroshima Acacia Appreciation Society to convey the message, “To wish you a happy life with fulfilled dreams. When a wattle starts to bloom, make a wish and your wish will come true.”
The common name, wattle, is derived from an Anglo-Saxon building technique. Wattles were flexible twigs or small branches interwoven to form the framework of buildings. This style of building was introduced to Australia by early British settlers and species of Acacia were used as wattles.
There are more than 900 different species of Acacia in Australia.
