Acacia podalyriifolia in Golden Bloom   ☀

Looking at the beautiful Acacia podalyriifolia flowers all yellow and golden in the wintertime garden Down Under. Very useful attractive shrub but, like many wattles, not that long lived. Quite drought-hardy, but won't grow fast without a bit of extra summer water. A bit frost sensitive--especially the junior plants--when grown in the coldest parts of NSW like the Central Tablelands. This wattle doesn't really like getting wet feet. It grows okay in heavy clay, yes, but doesn't like heavy clay that stays boggy and waterlogged for too long. 

In my past videos about Acacia podalyriifolia some commenters have claimed that this wattle contains the entheogen DMT. There would seem to be some argument about whether this plant contains psychoactive substances or not. I am not an expert on psychopharmacology, so please don't ask for my advice about dope-taking. (I only take tea, coffee and cocoa.)
