23.01.2022 Debbie Reynolds snapshot of what the grasslands of Melbourne's western plains were like before sheep and superphosphate! Evans St reserve in Sunbury has amazing diversity for such a small reserve in the centre of town. Only 0.2 % of Victoria's grasslands remain in thier original state so it is critical to protect these sites.

22.01.2022 Really looking forward to seeing the new edition of Kevin Sparrows wonderful field guide to the flora of Victoria’s South West!

12.01.2022 Lovely to see East Gippsland coming back to life.

11.01.2022 Fascinating blog on carnivorous plants by Boaz Ng - thanks for the link Jane Canaway! I love Fairy's Aprons!

11.01.2022 It’s worth signing and supporting AVAAZ. Supply chain control is one of the most effective strategies for combating out of control forest clearing - overseas and here in Australia.

10.01.2022 The Euroa Arboretum is I fine stop if travelling on the Hume Highway. Community work over many years has created a great indigenous garden.

10.01.2022 Enjoying the incredible work of the late Stan Kelly, whose well-loved #eucalypt watercolours are studied by botanist and artist alike. Kelly was a train driver ...with a deep fascination and love of eucalypts, often hopping off a train to grab cuttings of species he hadn't seen before along the track. After deciding to record the entire genus of Eucalyptus, he spent 32 years traveling across Australia, tracking down and illustrating 508 species. We hope you all enjoy this beautiful little video about the fascinating Stan Kelly, a true gum nut from Ararat: https://cv.vic.gov.au//an-eye-for-eu/an-eye-for-eucalypts/ See more

09.01.2022 A lovely segment on the WA herbarium. Finding, naming and growing rare Australian plants! Unfortunately for those of us who want to keep up - they plan to name a new plant every week!

08.01.2022 Just some of the wonderful native Mint bushes in flower this month in a Hurstbridge garden. Celebrating #FJCRogersSeminar 2020.
