It’s a suuuuuperb time of year on our little mountain. The Stylidiums (Stylidium graminifolium) are in flower and they are just beautiful! They look like hundreds of miniature, pale to hot pink butterflies suspended above the masses of brushy green shrubs. I just love them!
Speaking of superb…
- Our lawn patch number two is bristly and green! Hooray. Patch number three…. watch this space.
- And 70 of the 75 natives plants are in the ground… yewhhhhh!
- And the olive tree up near the pool which I thought I'd killed with fresh horse poo has burst to life with a flush of lovely new leaves and shoots!
Also, Sebastian started work on a totem pole today… I think it will be a work in progress. He had fun painting “off piste” and trying out some aboriginal art techniques (There’s nothing like cultural fusion!).
