I've tried to find it for you Vic, but I believe the reason for them being hard to find is they are actually flowers on a shrub/small tree.
Description
I don't think they are sold as cut flowers.

If you have time, you can order a seedling here and grow it and cut your own
;)

there's a few different types of wattles in the gardens near my place....

:o)

oh, and miki - you can get them here in native flower arrangements. They also dry very nicely too.

Can't find them for love nor money over here. Maybe i should buy a Wallaby instead.

Are you going to tell us why you are searching for a Golden Wattle?

I went to one of our lads leaving drinks on friday night, i got chatting to some woman who also works here and made a tactical error by thinking she was a Kiwi when she's actually an Aussie. i thought to get her some Golden Wattle by way of an apology. looks like i should have too as i have just been talking to her and i get the feeling that things are not progressing all that well.
