the cabinets
the cabinets, originally uploaded by the weed one. you will have to put a name at whatever is coming out of this soil. so far you’d like to guess the presence of Farmers friends (bidens pilosa) and a representative of the oxalis genus (wood sorrel) bit early to go any further than that. 🙂
Sonchus asper
Sonchus asper, originally uploaded by the weed one. A quick survey of the spontaneous flora in the immediate neighborhood. You can see the rest on my Flickr. The usual suspects and a couple of surprises, like the achillea and a nice bush of wild fennel, but i guess this is southern England, and the warmer […]
iWeed, test 1
Picture 1, originally uploaded by the weed one. ok, this is the first visible result, just a blank application, from here you’ll need to fit in what needed. The proposed venture is to, whilst at Blast Theory’s residency, research possibilities for a GPS capable botanical treasure hunt. This is meant to be building from the […]
misticanza

robinia_sprouting, originally uploaded by the weed one. on a side street in Surry hills, Sydney. The tree planted by the council is a Golden Robinia, a cultivar grafted onto a Robinia pseudo-acacia root system. The suckers coming from the roots is then the original plant.
Conyza, Sydney
Conyza, Sydney, originally uploaded by the weed one. extremely tall, carving away concrete in an abandoned courtyard. Would be interesting to find a study on the remediation capability of this plant, a truly pioneer when it comes to overcome concrete and tar.

The Blue Mountains are the one just west of Sydney, the first big natural impediment for the colonizers of the continent in early 19th Century.
