Water Apple Flower Fibres

Don't know why this tree has to produce so much flower fibres and drop on the floor like snow falling. But it certainly makes the ground organic and then merge into the ground, perhaps recycle back into the plant.


Tassel Tree

This is one of the unique species of trees found in my forest farm. The fruits look like a bunch of beads tassel, growing out of the tree trunk trunk every meter.  I have not found its name yet.


White Moth

It has one black dot on each wing. There are some indistinct light yellowish pattern on the white wings The feelers extend horizontally. It is small, less than 15mm. 
Many types of moths have been seen in my farm even in the daytime. Many more would be found if there are lamps around at night. 
I used to stay in my grandfather house at young time. I enjoyed collecting beetles at night but not moths because they emitted nasty powders the moment they were caught.

Eggfly Butterfly

"Hei, why you look so angry today?  Are you being jilted by your counterpart?"

This type of butterfly has a funny face with protruding mouth!


Spring

People like me from Tropical countries would not know how cold is winter ( I had never visited any temperate countries during winter and I do not think I can withstand temperature of zero degree C). 
But even in Spring, I could feel the coldness in which I hardly could endure. This bird, is it wagtail or Great tit, had to shrink its body to withstand the cold Perth wind.

Exotic lily flowers

They have very long and bending stamens. The flower structure is neither circular nor trumpet form, but just unsymmetrical. They are unique and exotic but too few and small to be noticed. These bulbous plants are survivors and have been in my garden for more than 15 years, propagating quietly.


Bright Allamanda Carthartica Flowers

These flowers are quite lasting and bright. A few plants would make the garden lively. Additionally, there are not many yellow flowers around. Most flowers are pink, white and red.
