Whilst My Grass Trees are just ...um growing!
I thought I might show this rather lovely tree (?) which is growing
in the same area where I photographed the Koala.
When I saw it I was reminded of the poem ... by William Wordsworth (1770-1850)
I wandere'd lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Now I know this is not a Daffodil, but it certainly is a host of gold!and there is a lake just over there... yonder from this lovely sight!
Ps I have no idea what sort of tree this is...I am assuming it is exotic to Australia, because it it decidious! *E*Tally....a new seedling...Yes (tiny it is)
91seedlings +7 = 98

That is so beautiful. Is it a gingko? I can't get a good look at the shape of the leaves, but gingkos get that almost surreal yellow color in autumn.
I'll post this here -- I can't bring myself to post it on my blog, just because I'm trying to be nice etc etc. But the mother-to-be's response to my blanket was, "Oh, well we found an old one of grandma's in a closet, so we'll just use that one." She didn't even say thank you. (sigh)
Hi... Gee that disappointing after all that work and not even a thank you, the green side with the little pink bits would have been lovely.
I'm with Bridget, don't even knit the little baby a pair of booties! The mother won't appreciate that either! And you are being wonderfully diplomatic!
Re the Tree...those are all flowers on the ground, big yellow trumpet shaped ones.
I will get a horticultural friend to identify the tree and give an update when I get the answer.
I looked up the ginko tree you mentioned and the site said they have un-noticable flowers...so its not that one.

Ps What a darling little miss 7 you have, I bet she loves everything you make for her!
