Always a pleasure to see these guys sunning themselves.

I've never grown agave before nor been too interested in them. This is a first attempt.

Found this chronology of ticket types in some old high school belongings. Possibly the most garish train tickets of any network. Enterprising students had a field day scamming the older systems. It wasn't hard.

Interesting to see reference to the Melbourne Olympics of 1996 that never were, on the back of one of the tickets.

Does anyone know more about the 'Neighbourhood' system of ticketing? I could only find a Moorabbin Neighbourhood ticket. Doubtless there were many others.

Pisolithus arhizus. They come up shiny but soon disintegrate into a brown powdery mess.

Now coming into full winter flowering, much to the delight of local honeyeaters

Any ideas on ID would be welcome.

I'm walking past plenty of these in flower in the bush right now but can never sustain one in my Melb garden for more than a year. Any tips? What are people doing to have success with them? Do they do better in a container?

Would love to establish a mass planting.

This Earth Star was ready to release its spores. One of 38 fungi species recorded today around Beaconsfield, Vic.

The flowers are durable and long lasting but be thankful you can't smell it! Relying on flies for pollination they reek of rotting meat (not the kind of flower to give your girlfriend).
