24.01.2022 Annette sent us these fabulous pics of the Banksia spinulosa flowering in her garden in Torquay at the moment. Annette says "Obviously the plentiful rain we have had has been beneficial to them, and they are blooming better than they have for a very long time. Most of these Banksias are getting to be around twenty years old and they continue to flourish. Not much else flowering in my garden at the moment, but these plants are giving much joy to the Yellow Winged Honey Eater...s that are plentiful in our garden. " Thanks Annette, they are stunning.

18.01.2022 Ade Foster sent us these pics of Darwinia oxylepis, a rare Darwinia which is flowering in his Belmont garden at the moment. The bright red 'flowers' are actually the bracts with perhaps six insignificant flowers concealed within.
