Oh we had a -4.5˚C frost then an horrendous wind followed by 3mm. It will assist my attempt at a seed lawn in a drought. Had to do something or it would have been a dust bowl after the plumbers had ripped it all up to install sewage.

The paper daisies are starting to get into full swing where I sowed them to repair the damage the plumbers had done out the front.

nice one,

we are having rain at present could be for a couple days or so, great for the gardens.

also involved with a little bush regen along a creek, good the little wildlings uncovered can get some rain and light now.

I live in what is both a desperately arid clime which is also an irrigated paradise, for some.
Most of my life has been about conserving water whilst others slosh it wherever it will make them dinero.

Hence despite the fact that I earned my living from an agricultural environment, I was practising Xeriscaping long before I knew there was a word Xeri/Xero scape.
It wasn’t because I was totally dissimilar with attempts at Latin.
Anyway, My garden consists of watering veges and fruit and nut trees and native plants that require little or no water after establishment.
I have been known to say that if it isn’t for food and even then, you should try a native.

If you look closely, there is no shortage of flowers.

The strap leaved plant(Dianella) will a little later do this:

Even though you may have to look to see it.

:) That’s how it came to me. Never before and never since have I seen another Sturt’s Pea with this colouration. I’ve seen them without black centres and in various shades of pink.

As the sun hits them they reopen, every day.
