  1. Lovely entry! I enjoyed all the plants and that Eggfly shot is wonderful! I've always found them to be more skittish than the other crows and nymphs.

    Not sure what any of your mystery plants are, but this time last year I wouldn't have even known what a Forest Hop Bush was, so the fact I recognised that shows my progress! :)

    1. Thanks Christian. We're just a bit annoyed with ourselves because we learnt a lot about wallum plants a few years ago but when we went to write this blog we realised that we have forgotten quite a bit.
