My Grass Tree No.7 is in the ground in the new garden area
and it has been raining.
There is nothing like a few negative ions to perk a plant up!
You can see the little plants growing at the base of the trunk.
Pretty cute eh!

GT no. 7 is an Australian Native plant Xanthorrhoea Johnsonii#(N)


**************

Previously I posted a few photo's of caterpillars eating my
Crown of Thorns*(E) plant
The caterpillars (4) turned into cocoons in the last
week of April 08.
This photo below is the the moth which emerged.
Achaea-janata has quite a lovely tail section!
(oops! he lost that bit of his left wing when I tried to photograph his hind-wings)

Tally 89 + 7 = 96

(two doubtful- seedlings not thriving)

Cheers
