The floral emblem of Western Australia is the red and green kangaroo paw. There are other colours as well, and they are cultivated as garden plants. They attract nectar-feeding birds and native bees. We have a “kangaroo grove” in our native garden 😁

The Noongar seasons are based on millennia of observations and where I live in southwestern Australia, much more useful than summer-autumn-winter-spring. We’re now into djeran, with its cooler nights (yay!). My favourite season is djilba, when wildflowers abound 💕 #westernaustralia

"While most people see a full spectrum of colors from red to violet, dogs lack some of the light receptors in their eyes that allow human beings to see certain colors, particularly in the red and green range. But canines can still see yellow and blue."
