My river being tidal is also brackish - the dog didn't drink it! But apparently the leptospermum leaves boiled can make a VC tea.<br /><br />Happy DaysDelwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16813713107604750354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155836879539082676.post-89395466602831562202009-06-05T07:44:01.112+10:002009-06-05T07:44:01.112+10:00Hi Bee,

After each walk I see if I can identify the plants I have photographed and I love to notice that I can name more as I walk too.<br /><br />I also bought a bird book and often stop on the walks and try to detect where the trilling is coming from - people stare at this odd lady who peers up into the trees with an expectant look on her face! But she is thoroughly enjoying herself...<br /><br />Happy DaysDelwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16813713107604750354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155836879539082676.post-73239023425666011672009-06-05T07:40:41.085+10:002009-06-05T07:40:41.085+10:00Hi Renee,

For ...Hi Angela,<br />Thank you for your kind comments.<br /><br />For this post I knew the background and just had to check out which tea tree was the oil one. <br /><br />In other posts I often I build on my scant knowledge by finding the scientific name or some extra interesting tidbits.<br /><br />I print out my blog and send selected parts to my parents in NZ. My husband suggested I print it out and it is nice to have in a hard copy although I now have two lever arch files full and have only been blogging since late Jan! <br /><br />Happy DaysDelwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16813713107604750354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155836879539082676.post-11916677785693752682009-06-05T06:55:45.980+10:002009-06-05T06:55:45.980+10:00Fascinating information, Delwyn.
