Weedy vines have the ability to completely change an ecosystem. They are one of the biggest risks to our bushland. This month we look at Siratro. The information in the Wikipedia link is very interesting. This plant was modified by scientist to improve pasture health and this is how it entered Australia.

This month we have a look at another vine that can completely destroy a natural area.

Here are some plants of interest during January. Many from December have continued to flower.

Flowering now in the shire is the beautiful and striking non-native Crepe myrtle. With abundant brightly coloured flowers its hard to miss..

Ferns are a fascinating subject. With no flowers and reproduction by spores, they fit well into the greenest shady part of the landscaped garden where we take refuge from the summer heat.

Summer is finally here. Learn how to help your garden through the coming dry season.
