As a South Australian by birth, I am familiar with the flower which is the floral emblem of that state - Sturt's Desert Pea.
It is reported that the first specimen was actaally discovered by William Dampier in 1699. There is more information about the flower and its history in Wikipedia.
Further you can read the story about the South Australian emblem here.
This specimen was in the gardens of Kings Park, Perth.
