xanthorrhoea...

Posted by DarkElf (Perth, Australia) on 14 August 2008 in Plant & Nature.

and don't ask me how to pronounce that name... this a plant otherwise known as Grass Tree (the name it comes under in the politically correct language) or in old terms a Black Boy... what you see is actually only the "grassy" tip of the tree - for a full view please see this photo http://darkelf.aminus3.com/image/2008-08-07.html

this plant is very typical of Australia and it appears pretty much all over the place...

welcome to my photoblog and thanks for visiting... my aim is to learn photography and share my experiences with you, not only through my attempts at photography, but also through showing different aspects of the world that have caught my interest over the time that i have been walking this planet... hope you enjoy the journey with me...
