Black Coral Pea, Kennedia nigricans was photographed some time ago at
Dwellingup Forest Heritage Centre at Dwellingup in Western Australia.
I have always enjoyed photography and love the scope that a digital camera allows. I am retired, approaching threescore years and ten. The world around me provides endless photographic opportunities, from the abundance of nature in my own backyard to historic destinations around the world.

Great shot Trish. I don’t think I’ve ever seen these.

Great capture! I have not seen one of these before. What do they taste like?
Thanks for your comments Kathryn. To my knowledge they are not edible, but belong to the Kennedia genus, comprising 16 species, all native to Australia. They are evergreen climbing plants with woody stems.

Just don’t tell me it’s edible, Trish. I couldn’t handle it. Great shot, though. You certainly do have a penchant for er…. the unusual.

Well captured, we used to have one in the garden,but it took over. I like seeing these wild though
The colours are so unusual … the one in this shot was under cultivation.Thanks very much for your comments ! I think all the Kennedias tend to go a bit wild.
