I haven't done much in my own yard with work and messy kids,and trying to finish my resume draft.
A firey bottlebrush,in full flower,its a specatular tree,not as prolific in flower as some others but for a reasonablely dull or ugly shade tree,the spring flowers make up for it. I have one in my garden too but I think I may have to wait for a few years to see a flower on it!
This particular Callistemon grows over 4 meters so it would have to be trimmed to size in a smaller yard but on memory this specimim hasn't been trimmed for years except at the base so it has a nice mature shape.Its also fairly slow growing .Lastly a bush view of our country up away from the salt lakes, in the iron stone ridges, surrounding the town.
The boys are out investigating the local wild life for lizards,the snakes and other animals like dunnarts!
