Xanthorrhoea

This week in my People and Places album I will be posting scenery from my road trip to Devil Ark.

Grass Trees Gums and beyond

[Brett]

A very nice landscape photo, love the towering cacti!

[Annie D]

@brett101 ☺ they are the flower stalks of grass trees...never seen so many and so tall

[Paul]

Lovely view :)

[JackieR]

title sounds like an illness! Lovely shapes here

[Kathie]

Fascinating flora. Great shot

[Annie D]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond ha ha it does

[KoalaGardens🐨]

so typically Australian, a real classic :)

[Bill Fenske]

Cool shot of some strange looking plants. Before I read Jackie's comment I was going to say it sounds like an incurable disease.

[Bill Fenske]

Oh, and I first thought it was an odd place for smokestacks

[Marnie]

Wow, they're big ones. Love xanthorrhoea despite having trouble with the spelling. Grass-trees will do me.

[Annie D]

@golftragic I've always known them as blackboys ☺

[Annie D]

@bill_fe ha ha they're quite big ...must be the perfect environment

[Marnie]

@annied Yep, me too. Dunno if the Thought Police let you use that term these days though. Some PC goes a tad too far.

[Annie D]

@golftragic hahahaha I know - bloody ridiculous - I still call them blackboys :)
