Damage:
Often you only see images of perfect, lovely plants. The truth is that most of the plants have some imperfections.
What?!!!
Yes, it's true.
I selected this plant because it has suffered a great deal of damage, and shows that this plant is having to slug out a life
in the big wide world. I wonder what is eating the leaves? It reminds
me of a damaged Drosera rosulata plant I had seen a few days
earlier. Perhaps the same pest is responsible in both cases? A few days later, Allen Lowrie told me he saw this kind of damage
being done by cabbage white butterfly larvae, a non-native species.
Between and slightly below the Drosera and the marri fruit is a decaying hunk of
kangaroo crap. There was a lot of that present.
