Exotics or Weeds

In the spirit of documenting all of the vegetation growing on the property, I am starting this list of exotic plants, or weeds, found here.

Common Centaury (Centaurium erythraea)

Large-flower Wood-sorrel (Oxalis purpurea)

Large Quaking-grass (Briza maxima)

Pimpernel (Anagallis arvensis)

We planted this Pincushion Hakea about 10 years ago. It has had a handful of flowers each year, but only at the very top. This year it went ‘boomph’ and is covered in flowers. I’m so happy it finally seems at home in the position we planted it.
I have been enjoying the proximity of the one kangaroo family we have on our property. Other locals have larger mobs, but we think our place is the spot this young male has chosen to bring his first mate.
Natural light at sunset a couple of nights ago. I love it when the bark is lit up with gold, orange and red light of sunset. This only lasts for a few minutes. #sunset #goldenhour #bushland #magicallight #beautifulnature #nature #naturephotography #treesofinstagram #naturallighting
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.
