Fig trees not fruiting? This was a 30cm long, pencil thick cutting of a White Adriatic fig taken in winter and placed in a 15cm wide plastic pot filled with potting mix. One third of the cutting is above the growing mix, two thirds inserted into it, with at least two buds above ground.

This unusual tiny flower is Common Arisarum or Friars Cowl (Arisarum vulgare) that's native to the Mediterranean region. It belongs to the Araceae (arum lily) family, a group of flowering plants with spadix-spathe flowers, just like the Peace Lily houseplant.

Perennial wallflowers (Erysimum) are great companion plants for planting under apple trees, and they also attract butterflies and bees into the garden, while adding a splash of colour through much of the year. 🙂🌸

It's rare to get this close to a wild animal, but this baby ringtail possum was only about a foot away, apparently too young to have properly developed instincts to avoid danger!

Tulbaghia violacea, also known as Society Garlic, is an attractive perennial ornamental plant from the Alliaceae (onion) family that originates from South Africa, with clusters of dainty, star-shaped lilac flowers on a long stalk. It’s a long-flowering plant which blooms from spring to autumn.

Zoom in for a closer look to see the details on this one! This interesting looking spider sitting on a plant leaf in reality looks like nothing more than a small dark spot close to the edge of a leaf, it's that tiny!

The large pale pink flower of the New Dawn climbing rose, considered by many to be one of the best repeating climbers. It has an unusually long flowering period, producing clusters of large shell-pink, sweetly fragrant, semi-double 8cm (3”) wide blooms, from early summer to autumn, which are contrasted against the glossy, dark green foliage.

A young female native paper wasp who will soon become a queen building her inverted cone-shaped nest from wood fibre mixed with saliva which becomes quite paper-like when it dries. 😮
