The very first of the Long soaking rain of winter The plants come Back to life. In the middle to the Back on the thicker part you can see the plants coming back to life they are Green ( This was my focus point in the shot). This is the 7th year I have had these plants from the wild. When you see them like this close up they kind of look like palm trees but very small and Very Very old.

The plants open out from the tight closed "Dead" looking plant , then they start to colour up orange then they go green next.

The only thing that did not like living in the city was the moss that grew out in the wild. This has got thinner and thinner but is being replaced by the moss that normally grows on the Bonsai's. The moss gets the same treatment as the plants no extra water but for the Rain no sprinklers system on these but the rain.

I wanted to add a photo that is typical of this winter one that has had no let up and given no quarter. We have had so few breaks of fine weather it has been consistent clouds and rain. Even this photo was taken in the rain this morning under an umbrella but worth it .

My Introduction to this plant was in summer setting up a Milky way shot sat on the small plants only to find out just how sharp and hard those needles are. look at the orange shot in the wild that's what i sat on.

The flower of the Drosera Menziesii not seen by many people.

This wild Group has been in my care for the last 7 years they are put in a place so its the same as their natural environment. They get full summer heat and almost look like its a dead group till there is natural water "Rain" and been so much of that this year they are flourishing. all I do for this group is remove any weeds that are trying to grow but the summer dry out kills most which is so extreme nothing survives.

Sadly no milky way shot or not even one deep space photo for the last month, each photo I have taken has taken a full month to get three nights.

Last year, nothing like it this year.

The sadness in those eyes brought only one thing to me "release me". I guess an area for orphaned lambs as there was not a crowd of lambs here. I walked the farm as the others had a hot sweet coffee one thing I am not is sweet coffee.
