20251025 Walk amongst the grass trees.
For all the rain it was worth the trip, to be out in nature. Enjoying some different habitat. Worth hiking through again in the future.
See you out there!

Riverbank erosion in SW Australia exposed previously undocumented root clusters in Kingia australis. Research by Lamont et al. suggests these novel 'kingioid roots' enhance water and nutrient uptake rather than storage, linking with seasonal root-cluster types🫚

Nice sunny day, so went walkies in the bush again. No Spider Orchids but more Pink Fairys and some Cowslip Orchids. I'm not out of options yet 😀

You should mention that the fire doesn’t kill the grasstree, but just gives it a haircut.

Yellow Spider Orchid - Caladenia denticulata ssp. denticulata

Seen last September, this species is endemic to the south west of Western Australia. The contrast of the white labellum and the yellow sepals/petals with their dark red tips is quite striking

Look at this. There is some (unknown to me) WA insect that makes a cocoon identical (at 3/4 scale) to a tampon. I had to even look closely to check that they weren’t tampons!!

and even if it was written badly... are we not glad that tree isn't doing nothing anymore (outside of grasstree)??? at least he started a conflict and has more of his personality shown instead of eliminating a lot of cool characters and not compensating for his stay

Grass tree resin was used to make the first glue . and had a variety of uses, including the provision of food, drink, and materials utilised in the manufacture of tools and weapons #photography #grasstree #ocean #clouds #Bundjalungcountry #australia

While it’s commonly called the Gracefull Grasstree, #Xanthorrhoea gracilis, is less “tree-like” than the others, forgoing the many trunk and just being a tuft of basal leaves, along with these tall inflorescences that get to 2m!

Die "puscheligen" Grasbäume ( #Xanthorrhoea ) zählen zu den endemischen Pflanzen Australiens. Sie sind bestens gegen die häufigen Buschfeuer gefeit und können bis zu 450 Jahr alt werden.
