Happy #Australia Day!

It's already January 26 on the other side of the world. For you, an infographic about planting native plants in your garden downunder. The concepts apply to our backyards, but don't plant any of these plants in Scarborough!

 

And, a selection of my favourite native plant photos from my travels in Australia in 2009. I had a great time searching for strange little orchids in the Porongurup mountains and admiring these completely unfamiliar growth forms in the ancient Australian forests and outback ecosystems. Hopefully I'll return for another visit in 2015.
