Hibiscus The popular Hibiscus is a member of the mallow (Malvaceae) family and this genus contains over 200 annual or perennial herbs, shrubs, or trees. They are widely distributed throughout warm temperate, subtropical, and tropical regions of the world. The epitome of tropical plants, they feature lush foliage and large flamboyant blooms in vibrant colors. In their native regions, these plants were grown not only for their great beauty, but also for their edible leaves and flowers. Hibiscus species are relatively easy to grow, and while often used as a colorful stand-alone feature in the garden, some species can be trimmed to shape and make effective hedging or screening plants. Enjoy this colourful collection of Hibiscus blooms. |

Weeds and Invasive Species When walking in the bush, many people think that every pretty flower they see is a true native wildflower. Unfortunately, this is far from correct and many of the 'pretty flowers' that can now be seen in bushland areas are Weeds and Introduced Species, many of which have escaped from domestic gardens. This album has been created to develop awareness of the spread of these weeds and introduced species, which in many cases, are displacing our own unique and often endangered Western Australian Wildflowers. For a start we must all take responsibility to protect our unique flora and it is the responsibility of every home gardener to never dump garden waste on vacant land or bushland. Titles and descriptions have been added where possible and eventually I hope to identify and add more information to other images. This is so frustrating! Some unknown gremlin has re-set the counter back to Zero on 26 January 2012. Do other members have problems with their Stats vanishing? |

Urban Birding 2 Set up a temp hide near the River Clyde, Glasgow at the old dry docks and set up a feeding station to see what turned up.
Always nice when migrant birds turn up.
Just record shots of what happens by. As always the usual birds to turn up first are the Blue Tits and Great Tits followed by Chaffinches, Dunnocks, Wren and Robins. |
