@Dawe4Peter Thanks Peter - I do enjoy getting out and learning about what I see

@Marybell1Bell Nice one Mary - some cool observations there 😁

A year in review for INaturalist - need to do more ids for others Check these 2024 iNaturalist stats! inaturalist.org/stats/2024/mar…

@ClarenceSlockee @Dawe4Peter @MindBodySoulNRG @ShalveyPS @pettitt_phil @DarrenMartin01 @BrendenMoore29 @AustralianBG Thank you @clar

@Dawe4Peter @Marybell1Bell @MindBodySoulNRG @ShalveyPS @pettitt_phil @DarrenMartin01 @BrendenMoore29 @AustralianBG Hairy Apple berry (Billardiera scandens) is a fantastic native species ground cover but if we’re talking taste… Lime Berry is the sh… plenty of species known as Lime Berry - but (Glycosmis trifoliata) Pink fruited lime berry shensational. Keep up the great work Plants = Life

Great to drop into @ShalveyPS today and check out the #FoodForest Looking forward to see the resources that @MindBodySoulNRG is putting together to assist teachers to provide ongoing education around the wonderful native & exotic plants of the school 🌳 🌱 🌿

@Dawe4Peter @MindBodySoulNRG @ShalveyPS @pettitt_phil @DarrenMartin01 @BrendenMoore29 @ClarenceSlockee @AustralianBG Ah cool, I found those photos just the other day. We were all so much younger

@Marybell1Bell @MindBodySoulNRG @ShalveyPS @pettitt_phil @DarrenMartin01 @BrendenMoore29 I seem to recall @ClarenceSlockee bringing some along to those virtual classes you ran at @AustralianBG 🤤

@MindBodySoulNRG @Dawe4Peter @ShalveyPS @pettitt_phil @DarrenMartin01 @BrendenMoore29 I can imagine - beautiful fruit. Have not heard of the pink fruited Lime Berry before - even its name sounds delicious

@Marybell1Bell @Dawe4Peter @ShalveyPS @pettitt_phil @DarrenMartin01 @BrendenMoore29 Pink Fruited Lime Berry & Apple Berry make up the quartet - we're a bit chuffed🌱

@RickiCoughlan Is it ok to go near the nest, I am always so cautious. There is a bower in the next street

@Dawe4Peter I went check today at your prompting and they are blooming even more and visitors as well

@Dawe4Peter Beautiful @Dawe4Peter - love the spider photobomb- here’s a small bunch down the street from me , flowering about a week ago #DharugCountry #flannelflower

It’s #FlannelFlowerFriday - how are yours looking? 💚

@thesilverdory Wow amazing to see the aphids? Also? Been looking round Hornsby for the flying ducks this year - no luck as yet

Large duck orchid (Caleana major) near Mallacoota, VIC. Still hard to find these distinctive orchids in some locations - this was the only flower I spotted on my last scout. The dry start to spring might be an issue with flowering so far this year. #inthefield #orchids #ozplants

@Dawe4Peter Loving the woody pear right now - what beautiful grounds they have

I don’t think the community at Yanderra PS fully appreciated the amazing native veg they have on their school grounds - especially the woody pear - Xylomelum pyriforme that was putting in an exquisite flowering display under half a dozen #Eucbeaut Eucs 💚

@thesilverdory Gorgeous close up

Early flowering Caladenia catenata (white fingers) have started to finish up in several E. Gippsland locations but some are still out around Mallacoota, VIC - including this very tasty form with a slight pink flush next to the Miners Track #orchids #spring #ozplants #inthefield

@Dawe4Peter @DarrenMartin01 @pettitt_phil @BrendenMoore29 @BotanicSydney This is good news that the snake was discovered 😅

Whilst continuing mulching the tiny forest at Yanderra PS we also checked in on the progress of the wicking beds & to our delight we discovered a blind snake in the mulch pile 🐍 🍃 🌱 💚 #youthcommunitygreening

@Dawe4Peter @pettitt_phil @BrendenMoore29 @DarrenMartin01 A dancepit - that sounds deadly

Yarning circle installed st Bomaderry HS now it’s time for the #deadly dancepit ❤️💛🖤

@Dawe4Peter @pettitt_phil @DarrenMartin01 @BrendenMoore29 That’s so terrific - it’s not often you get to see a pond at schools - this looks beautiful

Why settle for one pond when you can have two 🐸 💚 #youthcommunitygreening helping Springwood PS students extend the pond we worked on a few years back and adding additional endemic natives 🌱🌳

@Dawe4Peter @BotanicSydney @pettitt_phil @BrendenMoore29 @DarrenMartin01 @KsalmonSalmon Fantastic to see it all in action 🌱💚

What an amazing morning we had yesterday working with the students & community at Wilcannia Central School checking out the compost and adding to their veg garden & food forest ❤️💛🖤 #youthcommunitygreening @BotanicSydney

@Dawe4Peter @DarrenMartin01 @nichall17 @GeorgesRiverEEC @pettitt_phil @BotanicSydney @BrendenMoore29 @sam_squiggle This looks interesting , great project 🌳

In preparation for our #tinyforest at #YanderraPS @DarrenMartin01 & I joined @nichall17 from @GeorgesRiverEEC for a day of #Science #biodiversity & #connections we also placed some IMO traps to capture some indigenous microorganisms 🦠 🌱 🦎 The fence is in place 😁

@Dawe4Peter @keeper_of_books @friends_trees @HealthyTreesHL @Trees4Learning @atreeforaday I’m feeling what you are saying, seems so unnecessary. Happened with 2 beauties in my street last week. The family of cockatoos seem bereft

It’s a sad #thicktrunktuesday as I leave to head north knowing when I return I’ll have lost a friend & old neighbour 😢 🌳 It perplexes me why people move into tree filled bushy areas & then remove the beautiful trees - the birds have been protesting loudly all morning 🪦

@Dawe4Peter @pettitt_phil @BrendenMoore29 @DarrenMartin01 @BotanicSydney @KsalmonSalmon Peter the students and you are legends - fantastic outcome 🌳🌱

Today the signs that these Yr11 students designed went in at #AlbionParkHS What an amazing & lasting legacy & resource for the school & fantastic to hear that the staff started their year & staff development day in this cultural space that the students designed & created 💚🌱
