Magnolias and Grass Eating Dog Cow

Last year we put this Manolia in the front yard, the Magnolia is a medium to tall tree producing masses of goblet shaped flowers and fragrant flowers at a very young age. Nice. The others a more spring themed and a strange grass eating animal.

Spring Comes Early Part II

Wildflowers are popping up in a blanket in the understory of the bush surrounding Bendigo with Gold Dust Wattle, Grevillia, Daphney Heath, Fairy Wax Flower, Cyprus Daisy, Gorse Bitter Pea and Boronia bursting out across the landscape. I think we are in for a good spring. Here are some images of some of the wildflowers with a Magnolia and a Tulip from home at the bottom.
