They pop up in my garden late autumn, early winter. Known as Arum palaestinum, they look striking & rather gothic I think. They give off a carrion scent to attract flies for pollination.

Driving under part of North/South Express way freaks me out. Not only because of its colossal size, they drive like maniacs up there. Every morning the radio reports an accident.

Just got back from a 4km hike up Mt. Lofty & back down again with my friend Christine. It was torture in parts. So happy to get to the summit.

7.30am Sunday morning. Lightly raining now , contemplating on grabbing an umbrella & donning my rain coat for my regular one hour walk. Procrastinating by thinking the rain might get heavier. Just do it Lori.

Rooftops have now invaded my outer space. Before planning laws allowed development in urban backyards, I once caught a wonderful glow, of a partial sun eclipse low to the horizon through trees & my neighbours fence.

This morning captured a dragonfly, emerged from its nymph exoskeleton. Have had so many breeding in our pond the past year. No fish.

The flowers are up high around 3 metres or so, hard to get a good close up. Still striking & beautiful from a distance. I grew this from a small cutting given to me. It flowered after I had it in the ground for 10 years. Have cut it back several times. Those columns keep growing.

My butterfly orchid is spiking out to the max reaching for the light. I have it near a window on an old treadle Singer I inherited from my uncle. He made many men's suits with that machine.
