New plants of interest this week

This week has been rather busy and full on at work. In saying that, I have found some plant stuff that looks interesting to me (and I like sharing such things).

The first is a cute little Echeveria spp. that I found growing quite happily in a garden bed. These little plants put a smile on my face this morning as I wasn’t expecting to see them.

Below is Corymbia ficifolia showing off with these bright flowers. An Australian native, it shows typical Myrtaceae, or Myrtle, family flowers. The ants are also loving them!

Corymbia spp,

Another Myrtaceae family plant is pictured below. It belongs in the Metrosiderous genus, although I’m going to have to work on the specific species-I’ll update this post once I have time to correctly identify the species.

Finally, I have a picture of a fig tree trunk to show you. I love these trees as their trunks, if given the space to grow into their full glory, grow into the most interesting sculptural shapes growing anywhere. For this reason, a good, absolutely huge fig tree is always going to be one of my favourite trees.
