And then there were two! GT No.2.

Just after the last post we discovered there was another
little stalk
on the way!! This little stalk took 9 days to
develop and emerge out of the center greenery!

(Please click in the pic to see an enlarged version &
another photo in the side column)


This is 3 days later than the photo in the side column.
You can see how quickly the stalk
gets going once
it finally rises out from the center.

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

Grass Tree No.7

is going well!
Approximately 3ft or 90cm. tall in this pic ...
this was 8 days after being noticed!
The old stalk shows no sign of falling off!

***********
My two potted Grass Trees No. 5 & 6 are
here amongst the other plants in my garden!

The bird bath is a frequently visited by the local birds,
Turtle doves (non- native)
Little Wattlebirds (native...we call them - speedy gonzales!)
Butcher birds (pied-native)

**************************
I have: 6 Grass Trees planted around the garden.
2 in medium pots.
98 seedlings.
