Photo/s of the day.

It has always really awed me, the colour stories in the bushland per month and season (and now, in my garden, which is compromise mostly of local native plants too). For example, September to November is the month of yellow, more than any other colour; it's Acacias and Hibbertias and Conostylis. Red creeps in to say hi in the Anigozanthus (kangaroo paws) and in the grevilleas. But it is yellow's time to reign. A time of bees and jewel beetles and insects. Leave the red plants to the birds in the Winter and Autumn months; now it's butterflies and pollinating moths and ornamental wasps.

Anyway; here's my garden as it grows.

Verticordia chrysantha - (a ridiculously vivid featherflower that requires no - indeed dies in the presence of - fertiliser, makes a ridiculously long-lasting cut flower, is all sorts of pollinator friendly.)
