This is a single shot of my beautiful Leukospermum, (firewheel) it is such a pretty native flower, I photographed it in my sister’s garden in Wyee Point, Central Coast NSW and is straight from the camera. I used my Kodak Z8612 digital camera on flower setting. thanks for visiting, cheers- Valerie /

I don’t know if I have ever seen sleigh bells – at least not on a sleigh and I doubt if there are any sleighs in Australia anyway. However these little brown seed pods remind me of those little bells which are sometimes sewn on Christmas elf caps. Thanks to “Natalie Foss”: http://www.redbubble.com/people/lildtha the seed pods have been identified as Leptospermum sp (Seed Pods), an Aussie wildflower very common down the east coast of Australia. The photograph was made along a trail in the Kattang Nature Reserve at Dunbogan, about a forty minute drive south of Port Macquarie, NSW, Australia. Fuji S9600: RAW, Macro, f/8 @ 1/340sec, ISO80, Hand held. / S7RAW & Photoshop CS. Visit the Aussie Wildflower collection in my BubbleSite Gallery for more native floral delights. Enjoy!

tee tree / Winter-early spring

Playing with transparent layers combining different photos of one shrub. So happy to get a tea tree growing in my mostly limey soil. / This is a dwarf specimen that is meant to grow 1m x 1m, although only in its first year and still tiny so far- but the flowers are huge (for a tea tree). It was grown where all the limestone had been dug out and potting mix put in, and hopefully the roots will stay shallow so it will never know it’s been tricked! / It’s called ‘Merinda’ and apart from the dodgy colour photo showing red instead of pink flowers, there is really no information on this hybrid, apart from being ‘Leptospermum’ which is the tea tree genus in general.

prickly teatree

this image is a bloom of the Coast Teatree. Leptospermum laevigatum is considered as an invasive weed outside it’s narrow foreshore habitat (colonises readily from seed in poor and dry soils, can rapidly deprive other plant species of light, space, water and nutients, has probable allelopathic functions). but at the same time, provides habitat and sustenance to numerous indigenous insects in large numbers, and the upper reaches of which are known to be a prefered nesting sites for Butcher Bird groups. flowers September – December.

these little orange and black, winged nectar feeders (unidentified) proliferated in late October, early November and seemed mainly concerned with tea tree (L. scoparium, L. continentale & L. laevigatum) blooms and their nectar. some could be seen apparently resting on long grasses in the shade, after a big feed … Mornington Peninsula.

there are so many spider killing birds and wasps here that it is rare to see the same spider more than once. when she was not setting her web between two L. scoparium flower spikes, she sat and sensed silk vibrations from the tops of the flower spikes individually. she was about six millimeters from tail to eye. / i did not find her again. there is no reason to accept the spelling of goddess with two d’s, this was not a typo : )
-
do spiders track their prey to where they congregate or just wire up certain flowers because their prey is about ?
-
heath tea tree and relatively numerous, non-specific, unidentified nectar feeder.

Lemon scented Tea Tree. / I find a difficult subject to photograph. / This is my latest attempt with a twist.
