Day 34 - for a flower stalk!
A Close up of the Tiny flowers which will become seeds eventually.
Sorry about the darkness in this pic...
however it does show the lace-like delicacy of the flower.

(click on any photo to enlarge)


Day 39 in full flower!
Those little black dots there are harmless native flies
and I imagine extremely important
to help pollinate these flowers
.



************
A new crop of seedling have sprouted for 2009!
These were planted on the 11/2/09.
They came up from the 1/3/09 until the 17 th March,
I still have more to show their cute little shoots!
So far on this date, I have 33 shoots
from both
GT's 7 and 9.
out of a possible 48 seeds planted.

Very successful so far!




Enlarge to see the tiny shoots.

As you can see insects have been having a lovely chew on
this Longifolia Lomandra #N
.
This yellowy/green grasshopper
kept moving under
this leaf as I tried to take his/her photo.


*************
The Tally
2009 Seedlings = 33
2008 seedlings = 66 seedling

6 in the garden 2 in large pots.
Total = wow 110 !
Some of the new ones are mere slivers of green of course!
