And correspondingly ridiculous book for Jamie

Some Plants for Jamie by Grandma | Make Your Own Book

This time not only did I put in an index to the plants, I also included an index to the collectors and botanists. I find it pretty remarkable that in a book containing about 30 plants, Robert Brown is mentioned 11 times (having picked up these plants on his journeyings with Flinders, or having later described them at the Admiralty in London), while Labillardiere travelling with d'Entrecasteaux ostensibly in search of La Perouse gets a mention 6 times. Perhaps a testimony to how ubiquitous along the shoreline (and a tiny bit inland) these plants were (are).

New book for Elizabeth

Kensington Bushland by Grandma | Make Your Own Book

Clicking on this link gives a preview of the book. I have become quite fascinated by the history of the plants, as well as wanting to know their names.. I am quite pleased with this book.
