Black Boy

Xanthorrhoea sp

Habitat:

remnant dry coastal ridge woodland amidst urban sprawl

Notes:

It was surprising to see that up to a dozen of these plants had survived to flower along Dog Scat Ridge. The weekend after they had flowered all but one had been vandalised by party goers and the flower stems ripped off and broken up to be left among broken bottles

Yeah, being an island of old growth in a suburb is a tough gig. It breaks my heart to see the see the decline of these places
