[Man From Ironbark]

Thanks Dave. I'm trying to create images that the lady from ironbark can paint. She is fussy but she does want rocks and trees and she is using watercolours.
I like Californian poppies and I applaud you for allowing native plants to live in your garden. I don't grow Californian poppies because I do try to maintain a native garden with an emphasis on plants that are local natives and plants that can survive without much attention and water. Water is expensive to use on gardens here. Though I do allow small sections of the garden to have Flanders poppies because they have significance in remembrance of those who gave their lives in war and have a reflection about peace on earth.
I steer away from plants like gazania and succulents, cactus as well because I have a battle to stop them from growing as weeds in my surrounds. They are taking over the roadsides and any disturbed ground all over my region. So much of my country is swamped with exotic weeds that it is a disgrace to any person claiming to love our country and wave a flag.

Here's more of many of rocks and trees.
