    My dear leaflets,

    I am going to talk today about the Bush. As you know, my background is native plants and where do you find most of these plants? Out bush. I am not going to pretend I know everything about the bush, but a million years ago, I did a diploma in Natural Resource management which gave me a pretty broad idea about the bush.

    Hello my dear Leaflets,

    Blame my curiosity after my son went caving, and I pondered on plant species in caves. Be aware, there will be more of these curiosity gems in the mix.

  • Episode 21 An introduction plus a bite or 3
    Mar 31 2025

    Send us a text

    This may say season 2, but the truth of it is, it’s the next 20 main episodes of the podcast, precluding the minis and bites,

    So today, I am introducing you to this next season plus a taste of a new thing I wanted to try - bites! And no, they are not like last time and insects…I think I may be the only one who’s interested in bugs. But we're talking plants. Favourites of mine, in no particular order, and because our next real episode is on bushland gardens, I thought I would start with some from the rutaceae family. https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/824570-Leionema-phylicifoliumhttps://vicflora.rbg.vic.gov.au/flora/taxon/a136491f-1203-4ab2-9b68-c3337f72282e
