Is that its name: Polygonum? So off I go to look up the meaning ... "Any of numerous plants of the widely distributed genus Polygonum, characterized by stems with knotlike joints and conspicuous sheathlike stipules".
So is this a Joan-name or an official name? I really do not understand that entire sentence that I copied from the dictionary!
We were having a coffee at the bakery and I noticed a sign on a hotel saying it was a Cobb and Co coach stop. That got me wondering if there was a hidden Royal Hotel in the town. A quick google revealed not that hotel but this derelict one as the former Royal.

It is the official name and I don't remember seeing any plants of that description there.
DeleteThe bird life must have been amazing. And I've never seen a gum like that before.
ReplyDeleteI can't tell one gum from another ... other than that how they look different. It annoys me that I can't name them.
DeleteOh that first shot is just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI want to be there right now - right on the banks of that billabong.
Hey, maybe that's a Coolibah tree?
Yeh maybe ... after all they are down by a billabong.
DeleteGreat bird capture.
ReplyDeleteFantastic capture of the cormorant in the beautiful billabong! Love this post.
