Ray.Petri I’m full of useless facts  More info Post edited over 3 years ago by Ray.Petri. | Apr 30, 2019 00:44 | #8913 avondale87 wrote in post #18853361  Very pretty. Curious what they use so many poppies for? Are they medicinal? Here we have poppies for opioids but they're vastly different to yours here. Hi Richard, not sure what they were grown for but they appeared in a field near me several years ago. Very colourful. Search of web for my part of the world seems to indicate medicinal purposes. But I don’t know. We haven’t seen them since. Ray-P

Pippan Cream of the Crop  More info | Apr 30, 2019 06:06 | #8915 Turkey bush, Calytrix exstipulata (MYRTACEAE). This plant is very common on disturbed soils in the Northern Territory's Top End and, like many Myrtaceae, has leaves packed with aromatic oils. Local Aboriginal people throw branches of this plant on the campfire to release the oils, which help to keep mosquitoes away. There are many answers to question.

Pippan Cream of the Crop More info Post edited over 3 years ago by Pippan. (2 edits in all) | Apr 30, 2019 06:18 | #8916 Sadly my wife's grandfather, Ray Petherick, passed away in his sleep on 11 March, at 92 years of age. Ray was a true gentleman and pioneer in the Litchfield National Park region: a crocodile hunter and farmer, logger, saw-miller, ethno-botanist, rock art researcher, and chronicler and photographer of local history and Aboriginal culture, with which he was intimately involved. This plant, Hibiscus petherickii, was named many years ago in his honour and will be an enduring reminder of his legacy. There are many answers to question.

It's shot through a bunch of other bluebells with a really long lens. I then took an out of focus shot and composited a layer with low opacity reduce the contrast a bit.
