Swainsona formosa
Pale bluish green furry pea plant with spectacular red, pink or white flowers with dark bulging eyes.
Very dry desert after good rains.
After 10 years of record drought in eastern Australia came record floods. The desert came alive with all sorts of amazing plants and the Sturt's Desert Pea was everywhere.

Beautiful.....
A superstar amongst peas! I've grown this here in the UK but never managed to get a spread on it like that. Thanks for sharing this
Every green plant is a different color. Very nice spotting Mr Seinfeld:)
Nice spot Argy. They are very startling to see as you are driving through the desert.
Soo wonderful colored...and the plant look so amazing!!!
