Today's flowers

Here's my entry for this week, a wildflower that I saw during our fishing trip to Cottage Point, located in Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park approximately 50 minutes drive North from Sydney's CBD. I googled this flower and found out that its common name is Spreading Wattle. And here is the General Description:
Acacia genistifolia is a small to medium shrub which may reach 3 metres in height. Like most members of the genus, the mature plant does not have true leaves but has leaf-like flattened stems called phyllodes. In A.genistifolia the phyllodes are narrow and rigid, about 15-30 mm long with a sharp point. The cream or pale yellow flowers occur in globular-shaped clusters from the axils of the phyllodes. Flowering may occur over a long period from late summer to spring.
