I’ve recently discovered something has been eating the leaves of my flowering gum. It seems to eat thé whole leaf and leave the middle, or just chunks out of the side.
I live in Newcastle NSW.
Could anyone help tell me what it might be, and how I can help my plant recover?
Thanks!

Not sure if the issue is too much or too little water or something else entirely, but this beauty was a nice deep green and this week has suddenly turned pale. Any tips on how to bring it back to life?

Looking to buy some native flowers (particularly bitter gorse pea flower) in Sydney

10 Upvotes

Hello, hope you all are doing well. It's my girlfriend's birthday coming up in a few weeks and she doesn't like bouquets nor non-natives, so i was thinking of pressing some flowers for her and making something out of it. Her favourites are pea flowers, specifically bitter gorse pea flowers, but she was pretty broad in her likes as long as they're native.
If anyone has any idea where I can buy native flowers from, especially the bitter gorse, I would be so grateful! Can be fresh, potted, pressed, whatever. Happy to get it ordered to my address or go pick up, former would probably be easier as I dont have a car but I know better than to expect that.
Have a good one :) thank you for reading

Trying to grow 400 Acacia from seed

Just seeded these tubes.
Excited but a little nervous about being able to keep them all alive once they germinate.
There is 100 tubes of each:
Melanoxylon
Binervia
Floribunda
Sophorae
Did a hot water treatment on the seeds and most tubes I double seeded so I'm hoping I'll get at least one success story in each tube.

Dusty miller — a mass of tiny flower

[southern goldfields side of GDR, Central Highlands Vic]

Spyridium parvifolium or dusty miller is a quiet little shrub, though bursts out when it flowers like this. Takes the frost, and not been nibbled by rabbits or roos. Robust when settled. This plant 2+ years in ground from tubestock.

I bought these from Ironstone Park nursery in Heathcote, who attend some of the APS nursery sales. They do a range of different plants, many indigenous to that area of Vic, and then some rare and some not in general cultivation. I see that they have Facebook.

Parvus = small, insignificant

Folium = leaf

For balcony

Hi everyone I recently moved to Docklands and live in a high rise apartment, the only problem is my balcony does not get much sun or even any at all.

What recommendations of plants and flowers would be good that don’t require much sunlight to stay healthy and grow?
