Flora


Sacred Nature Refuge is home to one of the rarest plants in the world – Boronia Keysii. This plant was rediscovered in 1971 and has a very small locality in which it can be found, hence why it is the emblem for Noosa Shire Council. Images attributed to Jasmine Connors from Jasmine Louise Designs.
