In the native plants realm;


Rhodamnia rubescens;  Scrub Turpentine;  flowers in spring, generally heavy flowering, very fragrant with a beautiful perfume. The next trees show the abundance of flowers covering the whole tree.



 Melaleuca quinquenervia bark showing the papery exfoliation from which the common name "paperbark" derives.

 Grevillia Robyn Gordon;


 Grevillia; I am not sure of its name; I grow moonlight which is a much lighter yellow and also "Lyrebird" which is a more prostrate looking shrub.


 Love the cats whiskers, Orthosiphon aristatus; they can be grown from cuttings, appreciate to get a haircut from time to time and show their striking, soft purple flowers over the summer month.



The orchid like flowers of Bauhinia alba. It flowers in spring.



 

Birds enjoy the red seed berries of the Bangalow palm.
