We only get a few plants each year, but the flowers of the Slender Mint (Mentha diemenica) flowers catch the eye through the browns and yellow-greens of summer. I never see this one in native plant nurseries. They seem to focus on River Mint.

It was a busy lead-up to Christmas, and every time I went outside I was delighted to see clouds of butterflies. So many this year. I haven’t had time to check, but this one is probably a Common Brown. We usually have plenty of these. They were all over the teatrees.

A Grey Shrike-thrush has nested in the wood shed, taking advantage of the bark on the floor from wood splitting. When the female flew off the nest for a few minutes, we climbed a ladder to peek in.

A few wildflowers from my walk up the back at lunchtime today.

These are just a handful of the photographs of pea-flowers growing in the bushland on our place in Spring. I’m still working out the species. At least a few Dilwynia.

In the grassland part@of our place, we have some Spiny-headed Mat-rush (Lomandra longifolia) growing,and they’re in flower right now. I notice they were shown on Gardening Australia on Friday night.
