Wildside

Elkhornfern home of a possum.



Bromeliads providing homes for tiny frogs.


A night flowering succulent ready to open its white, scented flowers for moth visitations.




A "shady" lady in red.



From caterpillar to butterfly. In the background a Tillandsia cyanea.



Melaleuca with spiderweb.






Pandorea jasminoides, Bower Vine scrambles through shrubs and up trees and displays its showy flowers where ever it wants to.



Rainlilis had a good, wet summer with all the rain making "its day"!




Camellia sasanqua is an early bird in my garden this year.



Canopy of Brazilian Ferntree, Schizolobium parahybum. In Brazil and Mexico it is known as
Bacarubu or Guapuruva. I planted this tree in 1989 as a tiny seedling. It has now a massive trunk and is very high. In spring it has yellow flowers. It is deciduous in wintertime.




Cats Whiskers,Orthosiphon aristatus (Java Tea, Kumis, Kutjing) is said to have medicinal uses.
