I just 💚the BBC UK program "Love your garden". So inspiring & so many heartwarming moments. Does seem odd though, to hear them describing "native plants support wildlife" which out here in Oz, are imported environmental WEEDS 😁 #GardensForWildlife #RightPlantRightPlace #Nature #LoveYourGarden #BBC

A bit late for #ThreatenedSpeciesDay, but today is when it decided to flower 🌺 Meet Marianthus paralius (no common name), an endangered and range-restricted plant (that now has a little insurance population in my #NativeGarden)
