A quick introduction

[Ypsilophora]

Since having my account validated I've been meaning to write up a little introduction, but for whatever reason, it just didn't happen.

But here we go; slightly later than intended... but better than never!

After spending the past year or two reading this forum without ever signing up I finally decided it was well and truly time to do so - so here we are! 

 

With both my parents being ecologists, one thing has remained fairly constant throughout my life; a deep interest in plants and fungi, more specifically native species (but definitely not limited to such!) Since a very young age I have been fascinated by medicinal plants... and I probably spent more time than I should have throughout my highschool years scanning my mum's old uni textbooks on medicinal and edible native flora... my schooling definitely suffered, but I believe I have developed a more healthy range of knowledge because of it 

 

My current place of residence lies on the SE coast of NSW, and we've spent the last 12ish years transforming it from an overgrazed collection of paddocks into a lovely little refuge for native wildlife. I shall upload some pictures in the next post, I just need to downsize them enough so that I don't get that pesky error message.

 

I also wanted to say a quick thanks to this community for the warm welcome I have already received, especially to Humboldt and Pedro, who started off my collection very generously.

A few pictures of our place

second pic is a lovely little grove of 10(ish) year old floribunda + longifolia,  third is a driveway planting of the same.

And a little guest from the other week, very excited to see these guys in our front yard!

 

Thanks all,

Yp
