Breathe Easy, Aquatic Plants
I just love plants. I love them so much, I have plants in every room of the house and an aquarium full of them! The very special feature of aquatic plants is that you can actually see them “breathe” – little air bubbles stream out of the happy leaves to the surface! It’s quite a sight!
Spring Flora Festival
Despite the rain, we still went to the Australian Springtime Flora Festival held annually at Mt Penang Parklands. I’ve been wanting to go since the first year I’ve moved here. It was muddy and wet but I still had quite a lovely time there. I bought my first orchid and a strange plant called Adenium or the Fortune Tree. I just love weird and unusual things.
Handy Hubby Builds Aquarium Hood
Don’t you just love husbands who know their way around a drill and hammer? His latest project is the aquarium light hood which he built out of scrap wood and electrical freebies from his dad. Saved us quite a bit of cash and it’s done the way we want it. Thanks love! It looks great!
Unusually Beautiful Flowers
We went to the Hunter Valley Botanic Garden yesterday. I was in search of garden ideas and ended up having a field day with the macro setting on my digital camera. It’s spring and all kinds of weird and wonderful flowers are in bloom. Just spectacular!
How closely do YOU look at the world around you?
