Foxes Lair is on the boundary of the forest and wheatbelt regions and contains wildflowers of both. There are over 240 wildflower species. Some are widely distributed, but many are only found in one of the many different landscape types in the reserve. For example, yellow Calytrix flavescens on the far left above only occurs on grey gravelly sands, and the Leopard Orchid next to it only occurs on shallow sand over grey clay adjoining the claypit.
