Lovely pics Trevor!

I like this challenge a lot and look forward to seeing all the entries and rejects.
One of the things we are going to do is to try and make an Australian native garden here in Spain so seeing all these lovely plants will only feed the inspiration.

Thought I'd share a few more of my photos from my fungi forays. This time from the realms of Lichens, Mosses, and Liverworts
1 - String of Pearls (Lembophyllum divulsum)
2 - Palm Moss (Hypnodendron sp.)
3 - Juniper Haircap (Polytrichum juniperinum)

Here are a few of the other ones I took of our Callistemon. Might swap one of these over for my final image.

Near the native wells

Sorry for all of the separate posts. The attachments are not co-operating.
Thought I would share- For really interesting and strange flora and an incredible amount of flowers and birds, I recommend White Mountains NP east of Hugenden, Qld in June/July. The grevilleas are stunning. Look just behind the Telstra shed not the tourist look out which was rather plain. For really weird fungi- Mt Bartle Frere near Cairns, Qld.

Hi Bob,

That one of mine that looks like a Kangaroo Paw is quite interesting, the scrap of paper that I scribbled on when I planted it says Adenanthos Detmoldii, and the inter-networking web of computers tells me its "commonly known as Scott River Jugflower or Yellow Jugflower, is a species of shrub in the family Proteaceae. It is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia."

It also says "It is classified as Priority Four - Rare on the Western Australian Department of Environment and Conservation's Declared Rare and Priority Flora List."

Not too bad for the $2 I spent on it

Cheers Tim.

Some lovely images here, cheers. It's a great time of year up here for this category, but so little time to shoot.

A couple of 'almost' pics. Jarrod's nice Calystemon reminded me of a Grevillia up at the 1770 lookout. And the other one may be a Bohenia flower, I have to find our flower textbook to confirm.
