this is an old pot that had miniature cacti plants that has seen better days, it is located in a part of the garden I don't venture to often, but to my surprise when looked at close up it is truly another world.
@claireuk It's a hard woody part that is left after the gum tree flowers, I just looked up apparently they are edible by some animals. If you had time you could look at images on the net. I forget sometimes people don't know what I'm talking about!! lol It's like I'm from another world myself sometimes!
Thanks hun
