seen
I didn't even notice the little bug on the trunk in that first one until I saw it on the monitor :] observant much ?? Triffids cunningly disguised as lichen on a dead branch and this last one is the tiny Twining Fringe-Lily [thysanotus patersonii] growing around a small eucalyptus plantlet. Those flowers are about the size of your smallest fingernail.

lovely pics! keep up the good work, show the world that our dry bush has some of the most beautiful (if tiny) flowers!
OMG! Twining Fringe-Lily [thysanotus patersonii] incorporates the names of both my children - Lily and Paterson... I never thought I'd see that! Now to see if it would survive in Canberra... and if my local native plant dealer can get one...
Walking the fine line between creativity and obsession on my 10 acres of bushland. I share my life with my severely autistic son, and also my daugher and son-in-law, 4 cats and 4 goats, a very small dog who apparently thinks he's a Rottweiler ... or a cat ... and a collection of fabrics and fibres that can be seen from space.
