Moved my carnivorous babies into the mudroom temporarily to protect them from the oncoming deluge, which is supposed to last all weekend into Monday. I'll move them back outside afterwards, as I want them to get as much sunlight as possible before they go into winter dormancy.

South Pacific Heathland Reserve at Ulladulla NSW is a great spot to see an interesting range of coastal
Proteaceae. In spring it's easy to spot (clockwise from top-left) Lambertia, Conospermum, Grevillea and Isopogon in flower on a short stroll around the cliff-top paths. There's also Banksia, Petrophile, Persoonia and Telopea (NSW Waratah) in the reserve - many at the very southern limit of their populations.

Definitely worth a look if you're visiting or passing through Ulladulla - you can see a lot of great plants in a short period of time!

No opportunity to get away from home this weekend, so it's time for something from my quiet garden. We see many hoverflies at this time of year (spring here in Victoria, AUS). I finally decided I'd better find out their name - Common Halfband which is one of the two most common species. With the eyes touching at the top of the head, I think this is a male.

Good Morning.
This little girl was born in my little garden, she used to sleep right neat my stoop while her mom went grazing. She grew but got a nick in her one ear when still tiny. So I can now recognize her. She had a baby just next to my garden, and her baby did as she did.

Short Walks. Lower Silvermine Wetlands, Cape Town. Considering that the biodiversity in the Fynbos here is greater than the Amazon Jungle, one finds LOTS of things to photograph. These berries look good but THINK they may be an invader species?

Spotted sun orchid (Thelymitra ixioides) near Hyam's Beach, NSW - another coastal location where most of the flowers have no spots. Flowering had already pretty much finished here in mid-September with only a handful of plants still out.

Short Walks. This washout shows the root system beautifully. And. How important roots are for stopping soil erosion. Here because of drought, but more from overgrazing, there is NO grass of any type and just the tree is trying to hold everything together.

One from the archives. Snowdrops growing in the front yard in the spring of 2014. Taken with my Nikon D3300, which has a resolution of 24.2 megapixels. The #iPhone 18 Pro Max, which I have recently upgraded to, but have not yet received (thank you, chip shortage), has three 48-megapixel rear cameras.

Mind boggling. But the iPhone doesn't have all of those groovy Nikon lenses.

Unlike Sarracenia leucophylla, which grows its best pitchers late in summer, S. oreophila puts out a burst of new pitchers in the spring. Those pitchers are now dying back in preparation for winter dormancy. Smaller leaves at the base of the plant are phyllodia, non-trap leaves that nevertheless can photosynthesize.

In 2025, Spain cleared invasive minnows from two mountain lakes in the Pyrenees; 10 months later, amphibians and aquatic invertebrates were back

Some mountain lakes in Spain are getting a second life. According to the Centre for Advanced Studies of…

Somebody has chewed a hole through the side of a Sarracenia leucophylla pitcher. Wasps are a favorite prey of Sarracenia species, and sometimes when a wasp falls into the pitcher it's able to chew its way out. This doesn't really harm the plant, as it's still able to trap and digest additional prey. But sometimes the critters are able to make an escape.
