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...
