I ran away from teaching to the country to grow veggies. There are also some chooks and a pair of troublesome goats who were so much trouble they had to go! My simple green life isn't always as simple or as green as I'd like...but I keep trying!

Variety

If you asked me to do a quick drawing of a flower,
I would probably draw something daisy-like.

How boring when it could be 
something as flamboyant as Miss Rhoda Dendron...



... or as daintily floribund as Mrs Banksia Rose...

 ...or as discreet as the tiny japanese, Miss Maple...

 ..or as textural as the Mr Elm...

...or as bright and starry as the native Ms Wax...

...or as chocolatey as Mr Pitto Sporum



 ...or as potentially fruity as Miss Mul Berry...


 ...or as demure as Granny in her bonnet...

...or as unforgetable as this...

...or as flaggy and fragrant as Mis Lav Ender...

...or as promisingly fecund as Mrs Cox Pippen...

..or as complex and community minded as Mr Wis Teria?

  6. Me, I would draw a daisy too, but only because I have no artistic skill. Definitely not because of a lack of beautiful blooms.

  8. I had no idea pittosporums had such interesting flowers until a month ago when I was looking for filler for a flower arrangement. They are really pretty wee chocolatey blooms! My out of control pittosporum gets a stay of execution, for a little while...
