Echidna, Possum and Kookaburra

These two Noisy Miner birds had got soaked in the rain, and they were sitting on the back of a chair on the deck, looking in the window!!

The possum was on the deck at night, and when Joey ran out, he ran up the flag pole!!

These were taken a little while ago, but is some of the wildlife that comes in to the garden! Tony had to remove the Echidna, wearing thick gloves of course, as Joey was barking at it and so it was burying itself lower into the sand!

The Kookaburra came to be hand fed bits of meat. Sitting on our deck. He would wait in the tree for us at feed time. Then one day he just never came back.

foxgloves and iris

The front garden again, with a white Hebe, foxgloves, columbines and Iris'.

Buddha sitting under my Kangaroo Paws.

Kangaroo Paw

A yellow Kangaroo Paw. Not sure if I have already uploaded this one! Ho hum.

Iris, Rock Rose and Columbines

Another coloured Iris, with a Weeping Broom behind it.

"Black Boy" or Xanthoria

Native Grass tree is what it is usually called and this is my most special plant in the garden! It is a West Australian plant, although grows all over Australia, and this one, the spiky grassy plant in foreground, I grew from seed in Sheffield and then I transplanted it, which they don't like at all! I am hanging out for it to grow that trunk that the green tuft then sits on!

Next to it is a native iris, which isn't in flower, and the Pelagoniums in the background, also my Affirmation flags!!

Deep purple iris

Yum, another coloured Iris! The other view has a Pink Rock Rose behind it.

Californian Poppies and Pelargoniums

I just love the way these wonderful orange flowers spread all over the sloping garden.

The Pelargoniums are up the side of the house where it gets quite hot - see the weeping broom in the background?
