Powder puff lillypilly

Roaming up the back this afternoon I spotted the  Syzygium wilsonii coming into flower. It is also known as the powder puff lillypilly due to the spectacular balls of red flowers.  The fruit on this lillypilly, whilst edible, are really not worth  bothering with, as there is little flesh and lots of gritty seed material. However the flowers more than make up for this.

Nearby is a nice clump of elkhorn on a palm trunk.  At times I have discovered ring tailed possums nesting in  these large fern clumps.

Finally finished off the frame for growing Jicama (or Yam bean) today as well. I am reasonably happy with it. Still lots of work to do in this area however.
