This is a *gum nut* from mottlecah aka eucalyptus macrocarpa, and I'm obsessed. Wish me luck propagating some seeds!

Transplanted a bunch of wild grasses (and probably sedges, I'm no botanist) in the yard today from unmowed areas to cultivated areas, after buying a pretty native Eastern Blue-Eyed Grass (really a tiny iris) from a nearby nursery and then finding two varieties endemic blooming in our yard. Concentrate the things I like before ultimately mowing the rest, but I'll keep a few patches this year to see if there are surprise warm bloomers in there too. #gardening #indigenousplants
