My dear leaflets,

I am going to talk today about the Bush. As you know, my background is native plants and where do you find most of these plants? Out bush. I am not going to pretend I know everything about the bush, but a million years ago, I did a diploma in Natural Resource management which gave me a pretty broad idea about the bush.

Hello my dear Leaflets,

Blame my curiosity after my son went caving, and I pondered on plant species in caves. Be aware, there will be more of these curiosity gems in the mix.

This may say season 2, but the truth of it is, it’s the next 20 main episodes of the podcast, precluding the minis and bites,

So today, I am introducing you to this next season plus a taste of a new thing I wanted to try - bites! And no, they are not like last time and insects…I think I may be the only one who’s interested in bugs. But we're talking plants. Favourites of mine, in no particular order, and because our next real episode is on bushland gardens, I thought I would start with some from the rutaceae family. https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/824570-Leionema-phylicifoliumhttps://vicflora.rbg.vic.gov.au/flora/taxon/a136491f-1203-4ab2-9b68-c3337f72282e

This amazing pioneer for women in horticulture was the second woman in Australia to earn a doctorate in Science. She was the first appointed woman to be appointed by the Australian Government. And she was an integral part of the destruction of the prickly pear epidemic.

Hello my dear leaflets,

I had wanted to get out this episode of summer happiness before we get into the nitty gritty of podcasting. We're still in that honeymoon stage of the holidays, aren't we? Even if most of us are now back at work. This episode as I said from the other one, is me waffling about my garden and what’s in it and what I have in the way of plans for it over this year!
