Rescued Native



I put this native out the front for a year and it did nothing except slowly die. I move it out the back and it instantly flowered and I have now been rewared with a cherry. It got badly sun burnt one day, but it will recover. I forgot what sort of native it is, but it does produce sweet edible fruit. Hopefully the possums and birds don't find out too soon.

A few large harmless spiders have been busy making webs. Hopefully they will kill a few mossies.




Ferry to Work

I've been planing on catching the ferry to work since day 1. I finally pumped up my bike's tyres and did it. Add about 15 minute to my trip, but worth it, so much more relaxing.

Gum blossom

Graham's mum gave each of us a plant as a house-warming gift. Mine, a lovely Eremophila nivea, died at the beginning of summer. Graham's, a eucalypt, has had buds for what seems like months, growing fatter and fatter. The biggest ones have finally opened. There are still plenty more.
