Fortunately, my back garden is free of rolled-up newspapers. (Not so free of weeds but that's another story.) These first few weeks of spring have brought out a glorious range of flowers, among them Kennedia beckxiana, which has adopted a pincushion hakea as its climbing frame.
An occasional blog about natural history, travel, books and writing ... and anything else that catches my attention.
