Hakea laurina

Also called Pin-cushion Hakea, is growing on my verge. I've planted the tiny seedling a few years ago and it had two flowers last year autumn which are now the seed pods. This month it started flowering again with many more flowers.
I don't know how large it will grow so I keep it low pruned as it's prohibited to have large plants on the verge unfortunately. 

Gall wasp?

I think this is the eggs of the gall wasp, but I am not totally sure... Anyway, it's a beautiful decoration of a dry gum leave.

Green Grasshopper or Katydid

This green beauty was sitting just a few meters from our back door today, on this cooler summer day. After a few very hot days it finally cooled down and that seems to come with more life in the garden. Not sure if it's a grass hopper or a katydid, but it didn't hop but flew to the wall when I came a little bit too close with my camera. 

Eucalyptus bush on our verge - Pin-cushion Hakea

The leaves of this bush are huge and very tough and leathery. I cut it so it doesn't grow in to an enormous tree, but I have no idea what it is or if it does want to grow large. According the leaves it should be... they are almost the size of my hand.

Rain drops
