Callistemon rugulosus, one of only a few indigenous shrubs with striking red flowers, brightens our bush at this time of year, especially floriferous after a wet spring.

The delicate flowers of the Albany Daisy, Actinodium cunninghamii, are on display in the front garden. One of our favourites and they like the neutral soil and open position.

Last Wednesday the group visited Mark and Terri Nitsche's Oakbank property and were amazed by the tall forest he has created in the thirty years they have owned the property. This has attracted much wildlife. We could hear many birds and even saw two Koalas. The shrubs planted near the house have also grown really well, especially the Banksia grandis which was covered in very large flowers.

When establishing my new small garden I planted these Pelargonium australe to fill all the gaps until the new small permanent plants grew. They have done what I had hoped as well as flowering really well. After flowering they still look colourful with their bright red leaves.
I am hoping they will self seed and continue to fill gaps.

My favourite Petrophile, species linearis, the Pixie Mops, are in flower now. I tried it in the garden again, but it likes the conditions in the pots much more.

Back home from tha Flinders Ranges now but here is a post still from there. Unfortunately we were too late for the Sturts Desert peas but were able to see many plants flowering, these Ptilotus exaltatus and obovatus some of them. Pest plants like statice and salvation jane are growing in profusion so was lovely to see a few swathes of these Ptilotus fighting there way through.
