Alyogyne huegelii...Australian Native Hibiscus

[DeborahJane]

Haemo.....Haemodor......blast it, I'll stick with Kangaroo paw! Would this be it, an unusual but attractive plant.

That's it...kangaroo paw, much easier! It comes in very fancy colour combos and heights too. Quite fascinating! Not sure how much it looks like a kangaroo paw though. Visited a friend down the road today and there was a wallaby in her yard. I haven't seen our visiting Wally for a while. Hope it comes back. Does make my day.

I wonder if it would grow here, I'll check it out on the web.

We have Wallabies living wild here on the island, apparently there's about 130 now and they're very rarely seen. I saw one while driving home late at night about five years ago but I've not seen one since.

I mentioned the wallaby in my friends yard..... I should have mentioned it is a 6 acre yard. We are out in the country a bit so that's why we see them. They don't tend to be in the suburbs.
Your wallabies were on television the other day and I was able to confirm through my worldly contacts that yes that's true, thanks to this wealth of knowledge I am being exposed to through this forum...
I'm now a bit of a smarty pants he he!!!

That's not a yard, it's an estate!

Our Wallabies made the television? That's a surprise! Mind you it's Australian television not British, much of the population of Britain couldn't tell you where the island is and they live here.

That's so bizarre! I had no idea!

Some escaped from the Wildlife Park here many years ago Becky, they managed to survive and expand the population.
