Tiny Tuesday - Parrot Pea

I had to go into the Belair NP today for a committee meeting and a small shrub absolutely stopped me in my tracks.

It looked almost like it was on fire, smothered with these tiny pea flowers.  I don't recollect ever having seen one before, and like most Australia flowers one in a species looks almost like the next one, and they are so hard to tell apart.  But I do think this is the Showy Parrot Pea (Dillwynia sericea).

It would make a marvellous garden plant, so it's yet another one I shall have to look into.
