Eriostemon philotheca ‘Profusion’ is just starting to flower now and will look intensely coloured over the next few months as its delicate flowers cover its non-descript limbs

I can’t believe I’m taking a photo of a weed! Arum lillies have become a bona fide pest since being introduced to our region nearly 200 years ago – but they do look pretty, don’t they?

Since Annie ID’d this plant for me I’ve now been able to share and enjoy it with more enthusiasm – but now that I know that it’s not an Aussie native, it’s coming out of the backyard native garden soon.

Kalanchoe ‘Quicksilver’ making it’s annual entrance. I’m a growing fan of succulents and their amazing diversity.
