From late Winter through to Summer the Grampians is alive with colour. The Grampians is one of the richest flora areas in Australia with over 1000 species, many of which are endemic to the Grampians and neighbouring State Parks. The Heathlands become an array of yellows, blues, whites and pinks with Wattles, Thryptomene, Heaths and Hakeas. In Spring, Orchids can be found hidden amongst rocks and in Stringy Bark forests. From the end of August to early October, you will find plenty of Orchids at the Asses Ears Wilderness Lodge. Just follow the nature trail down to the Stringy Bark Forest.
