One of my favourite native wildflowers, Cleomella serrulata. I saw a few dozen of them today that were covered in a mixture of native bees, wasps, ants, and beetles. There was a really healthy and diverse bird population in that natural area as a result of the robust insect populations and fruiting shrubs.

Unfortunately no smell whatsoever. I usually like planting things that have a sensuous benefit along with an ecological one, but this is just a generalist calorie machine.
