Persoonia, Hakea, Banksia and river views
Lane Cove National Park is one of my favourite places to go for a walk when I get the chance. On Saturday, I had time to go for a walk and I went on a slightly new route. I have to say that I really should along those paths more often, as it is a…

This energy is used for growth extracting water and nutrients from the soil and to maintain the health of the plant. Leaves also vary is size, shape and colour, so I’m going to show some of my favourite…

Whenever I travel, I always try and find a public garden of some sort to visit. This post is all about my visit to these fine gardens, which I enjoyed immensely. The weather was…

Banksia serrata-Old Man Banksia
This is a tree that is an emblem of Australia to me. It can be a little scruffy, but (as with many Australian natives) it has a random charm to it-the flowers look awesome and it can survive fire through the ability to reshoot from a lignotuber. The flowers are also a source of food…
