    Blue Morning Glory (Ipomoea indica)

    Considered a weed in much of Australia, Blue morning glory flowers throughout the year but is most prolific in spring, summer and autumn. They are quite striking in appearance and are the common eye-catching feature of the species. The petals are fused together and the short-lived flowers are readily replaced as they perish.

    These flowers are known as 'Long-lasting Bronze' in our home, or sometimes 'Straw Flowers', but their proper name is Bracteantha Mohave Autumn Bronze. This photo is amongst the first I've taken with my new Sony Alpha 6000 mirrorless camera. I think it's going to be a great addition to my full frame Canon.

  • Chilli Plant

    Chilli Plant

    Latin name : Capiscum spp. Family name : Solanaceae This plant comes from the same family as tomatoes, potatoes, tobacco and the nightshades, and contains the alkaloid Capsaicin in all parts of the plant (although the highest concentrations are in the seeds and the inner lining of the wall of the pepper). Capsaicin imparts a hot, bitter taste and is also an irritant to the skin and eyes and to almost every animal except birds, who do not react to Capsaicin and in nature act to disperse the seeds. While most Chili Peppers have white flowers, there are a few varieties that have purple flowers.
