Originally posted by DW58 On a short walk this morning I found a tree with a few of these growing on its trunk. I think colors work well together.
They do. I like the contrast of textures too.
From a walk in Bunyip State Park, Victoria, in November (which is the height of our spring). This was the buttongrass walk, a remarkably diverse 3.2km (2 mile) loop through unusual plant communities with a number of uncommon to rare species. Poor soils often seem to produce the greatest diversity, because no one species dominates.
Swamp bush-pea, something of a rarity. K-S2 + DA 55-300 PLM.
All the remaining shots are K-S2 + DA 20-40 Ltd.
Stringybark eucalypts and a view towards the Black Snake Range.
Messmates and coral fern.
This looks like a little conifer but it's actually Bushy Club-moss (Lycopodium deuterodensum), part of an ancient family of spore-bearing plants from Gondwana times.
There are many species of pea flowers. Not sure which one this is.
Wiry Bauera (Bauera rubioides)
Woolly tea-tree (Leptospermum lanigerum)
