What your favourite native flower says about you (QLD edition)

By Sunshine Coast Flowers and Gifts - Caloundra’s Local Florist

Australia is home to some of the most striking and resilient flowers in the world. Whether you’re drawn to bold banksias or delicate waxflowers, your favourite native bloom might say more about you than you think.

Here’s our take on what your favourite Australian native flower says about your personality

Waratah – The Bold Visionary

Bright, confident, and impossible to ignore. You are: passionate, driven and a natural leader. You don't shy away from the spotlight and you're not afraid to speak your mind.

Banksia – The Grounded Adventurer

Tough yet beautiful, banksias thrive in rugged Aussie terrain. You are: Practical, dependable, and a little bit wild at heart. You love nature, hiking Glass House Mountains, and finding joy in the simple things. Favourite season: You secretly love stormy summer days (and the smell of rain on hot earth).

Billy Buttons – The Playful Optimist

Round, yellow, and full of sunshine - just like your personality. You are: Cheerful, quirky, and always looking on the bright side. You’re the type to bring a smile to any room (and maybe wear mismatched socks just for fun). You’re a local at the Caloundra markets and you love chatting with stallholders and picking up homemade candles.

Eucalyptus – The Calm Soul

Cool, collected, and refreshingly down-to-earth. You are: Peaceful, nurturing, and quietly wise. People come to you for advice or just a calming presence.

Waxflower – The Creative Dreamer

Delicate but not to be underestimated, waxflowers bring texture and flair to any bouquet. You are: Artistic, intuitive, and full of ideas. You probably have a sketchbook (or Pinterest board) full of DIY dreams.

Kangaroo Paw – The Fearless Trailblazer

Unusual, striking, and a bit edgy. You are: Independent, bold, and always pushing the boundaries. You're not afraid to stand out - and in fact, you prefer it that way.
