Plants and flora generally on the Farm

One of our dams which help support the ecosystems on the farm. The wild flowers and water plants are amazing to see.
As you can see the reeds and flowers are abundant.
The rushes are certainly plentiful as well.
The Crepe Myrtle trees are especially colourful.

Some colour among the greens.
A newly untwined fern in all its glory.


Below is a lovely yellow gravillia. They attract all kinds of sap suckers including Honey Eaters, Crimson Rosellas and Rainbow Lorikeets as well as the ants which are the little black specks at the centre of the flower.


Our Tamarillo tree with the fruit ripening up, can't wait for them to be ready as I have never had one before.
Here are the flowers on one of our Frangiopani trees. They have the most glorious scent to them. I have never smelled anything like them before and they are pretty too.





Our Panama Gold passionfruit vine at the back of the house.



One of our rose bushes


Gladiloas near our passionfruit vine.




A red pepper plan we have growing in the garden at the front of the house. The wallabies try them and don't like them but keep trying the next one and the next one etc....


More of our roses.
