The best times to view the flowers are from mid-July to October, with orchids and some wattle  species flowering as early as April. The Merredin Visitor's Centre has a special interest in wild flower sightings with reported sightings being updated on an almost daily basis.

The woodlands of the Wheatbelt have a greater diversity of plant species than the world renown karri forests of the Southwest. Nungarin has been featured on several international wildflower tours conducted by the Wildflower Society of WA.

Habitats in the Wheatbelt range from open woodland, granite outcrops, sand plain country to extensive salt lake systems. This gives rise to a great variety of flora and fauna species; many now only confined to nature reserves and roadside verges in these habitats.
