Rare plants are sought after by many gardening enthusiasts in Australia. Just what makes a plant rare differs from genus to genus, species to species and according to climate.

Plants may be rare because the are almost extinct in the wild, because they are difficult to grow or just becauase commercial plant growers can't make enough money from selling them. However many so called rare plants are in fact available.
