Loved the photos, Pip...such a cheery sight and a reminder of what we can look forward to as the weather turns warmer :)

I really liked the gazinia's along the driveway....the sheer concentration of them looked impressive!

They're actually a weed! That's why they are so prolific... Glad you liked the blog Jacquie :o)

17 Jan, 2011

we do have welsh [yellow] poppies and forget me nots as weeds ~ but i like them so all the poppies stay and i only take out some of the forget me nots

19 Jan, 2011

 

We have freesias and Agapanthus as weeds over here! Everyone on GoY is usually shocked when I say that.

19 Jan, 2011

 

oh that is unbelievable ~ we have to pay about £5 a bunch for freesias and agapanthus are even more difficult!!
our dandelions dont compare with your weeds!! i think i shall have to do a blog on weeds at this rate!!!

19 Jan, 2011

 

good ides Sticki-- some weeds are pretty --but not as pretty as Pips :o))

20 Jan, 2011

Spritz asked me to do a blog on Aussie 'weeds' ages ago - but I never got around to it!

21 Jan, 2011

 

i could take a photo of my weeds and turn them upside down ~ would that be ok pip?

21 Jan, 2011

Great blog and pictures Pip! Watch out for my Zebra Grass, Shirleytulip split hers and said the roots went down almost as far as Australia! Might do mine this year, so could take a short cut to see you!!

26 Feb, 2011

 

Thanks Tet, What's Zebra Grass?

26 Feb, 2011

 

Oh I forgot lol! you didnt have one of them at the Brisbane Zoo!
Its a very tall grass (with very long roots apparently!) that has almost horizontal stripes on the leaves.

26 Feb, 2011

 

Okayyyy
