Love that colour

yes which the magpies love to peck at nesting time!!

That's a really pretty one, colours are beautiful

Thanks Wolf. Yes farmers usually do their bit because of cattle and that these plants just take off and there'll be no pastures left. So you have a farming background too then?
Cheerio, M.

Pretty colour.

That's a perfect looking rose.

How lovely!

Love your bird house. Does it have a thatched roof?

Beautifully done!

This looks like Alstromeria to me.

Your lawn looks like a bowling green! You must work a lot of hours out here.

Beautifully done!

Love your cat!

Thank you they are 3 years old know the older they get the more vibrent they seem

Thank you they are Aug till september but they have just opened this morning.

I'm not sure if they are doing this everywhere else but since we moved to our current place (about a half an hour out of Geelong - the second biggest city in Victoria. I hesitate to use the word city but that's what they call it) I've noticed that many of the schools in this district have a school gardening project. The different year levels all get involved in gardening and learning environmentally sound practices. They grow all kinds of things from fruit and veg to flowers. It's incorporated into their curriculum. So there is some small hope that things will improve.

Gorgeous!

Hey Marguerite - another great story. :)

I don't know if Victoria has ever had a serious fight against blackberries. We kill them off at the family farm, but that is simply because we don't like the cows to get near them. I think that is the problem though, fighting noxious species (not just flora but fauna also) costs too much money and the government ends up cutting back funding.

Keep the good stories coming.

Brrr! I'm not looking forward to this (though it's a little milder here in Ontario)

I agree! Such cheerful flowers.
