My Australian Garden And Its Plants
Well, the title says it all, really. Most of the plants in my front garden are Australian natives, but a few others creep in, because I like them. There's no theme or formal planting in my garden, it's just growing the way it feels like growing. :-) Gardens, of course, are always in a state of flux, so things change regularly, depending on which plant I fall in love with at the nursery, or the market.

Fascinating Banksia Pods
What Are Banksia Pods?
Banksia pods are the seed part of the Banksia flower. Banksia's are a unique and popular Australian native plant with many varieties and cultivars. They are a fascinating plant that attracts birds, insects and small mammals to the garden and are popular in Australian gardens. The banksia pod is a very strange looking thing and has been made famous by australian childrens author May Gibbs. It also has other uses as you will see here on this page. Photo courtesy of John Tann
