There is a lot of activity in the garden with wildlife visiting fruiting plants. Bangalow Palms featured last month are now producing berries. The last of the fruit from the Midyim Berry has disappeared. Cordylines have flower spikes as well as fruit still hanging on.

Plants of the Hibiscus genus are naturally found in many different localities across Noosa and can be very useful and decorative habitat plants for our urban gardens. They attract a wide variety of native birds and insects.

When we think of wildlife in our gardens we tend to focus on the birds, reptiles and mammals that we see there. Insects often get overlooked as an important part of a garden habitat, or are seen as a nuisance because they eat plants, build nests in inconvenient places and can often bite or sting!
