Well, it’s autumn again, although it’s still hot and humid 🥵, so not long until it starts cooling off! 🎉
With some rain coming, it’s tree planting time!

The pink feathery flower spikes of Ptilotus exaltatus ‘Joey’.
Spotted in my local nursery…Ptilotus exaltatus ‘Joey’, commonly known as Mulla Mulla. A striking Australian native that doesn’t live long but creates quite a show while it’s here!

The hand of experience holds out several green oval-shaped fruits of the Australian Kakadu Plum tree. This Northern Territory native fruit (Terminalia ferdinandiana) is the world’s highest source of Vitamin C, an essential nutrient rich in antioxidants. Not only is Vitamin C a valuable dietary supplement, but is also involved in tissue repair and building collagen; which plays a role in wound healing and anti-aging. As well as having outstanding Vitamin C content, it is also rich in iron and Vitamin E. Its round light green fruits can be eaten raw or made into a jam or paste and is also sold as a powder. The fruit is tart and has a floral musk, some say the taste is similar to an English Gooseberry. 'A Kakadu Plum a day, keeps the doctor away'. Image Credit: NITV/Universal Images Group Editorial

A lush, dense tree with brilliant, cascading yellow flowers dominates the frame. It sits next to a strip of bright green, tall grass swaying in the wind, with a white, circular 60 km/h speed limit sign on a pole positioned to the right. The sky above is a pale blue. Photo signed Kev Peirce.

Look at this beautiful kookaburra (baby I think). Sitting in the sunshine on our balcony. They normally fly off when I come out - this fellow just kept an eye on me then was as curious as I was 🥰

The pink bottlebrush flowers of Callistemon ‘Fluro Burst’.
Meet Callistemon ‘Fluro Burst’. A stunning pink flowering bottlebrush that grows to 1.5m high but less than a metre wide.
Perfect for those narrow spots near pathways. Champion. 🩷

First harvest from the lilly pilly hedge. When the hedges are bigger and the fruit is plentiful, I'll share with the birds. For now though, mine!
They are really delicious dried - quite tart but also kind of floral. They make delicious jam, too.

A tall eucalyptus tree with smooth, light-colored bark dominates the frame, stretching its branches upwards towards a clear, bright blue sky with the sun shining through its leaves. Other green trees are visible in the background.

The yellow flowers of Australian native plant Chrysolephalum ‘Desert Flame’.
The cooler weather is upon us here in Sydney. Lovely to see a flowering Chrysolephalum ‘Desert Flame’ in Heathcote today. Silver foliage, papery yellow flowers. 💛

I have a small #garden at the front of my townhouse, looking to grow an #AustralianNative collection. I have my favourite, Kangaroo Paw #Anigozanthos & a mixed bag of seeds mostly listed below & #Casuarinaglauca “Cousin it” that I’m also hoping will flourish

A blue-banded bee collecting pollen and nectar from red bonfire salvia flowers. It’s a large bee, with a pale brown fluffy head and thorax, and a shiny black and neon blue striped abdomen. The 4 blue stripes suggest this is a female.

A blue-banded bee in my back yard - a very welcome visitor! I hope she lays eggs in our bee hotel…

Our woolly frogmouth (Philydrum lanuginosum) is flowering! Really stunning, dramatic flower spikes. Hopefully it spreads to some of the other boggier areas in the yard. #nativeplants #australiannative

A group of blue-banded bees (Amegilla cingulata) clinging in a neat vertical line to a string of a wind chime. These native Australian solitary bees, known for their black and pale blue striped abdomens, are exhibiting their typical roosting behavior, where males rest together overnight. The background features a window with metal bars and a brick wall.
so honoured to be hosting these boys for the night 🐝 #bluebandedbee #australiannative #bees
