Stinky dog bones? Wash Scruff again.
Thanks for sharing that Vireya! Clare had seen it on a documentary on TV a while ago and was very excited to see your photos of it all happening in Melbourne. Just a pain that we couldn't make it in there ourselves!
I saw it on the news and wondered if you had gone back again. How exciting for you.
How wonderful to see it . Amazing color. DH asked if I was talking about the corpse flower?
He'd read about it. Very nice of you to share.
Saw it on the news last night. The wonder of nature.
Your photos are great, Vireya. I did think I should make the effort, but I didn't so thanks for posting.
