Everyone say g’day to one of our favorite Australians , Frank Greenhalgh , who will instruct us that if you are Down Under and someone say , “ Nice pigface , ” it is n’t of necessity an vilification :
“ Hello there fellow GPOD’ers . After an unusually dry winter and early leap , aboriginal plants have now flowered nicely in Metung in the nation of Victoria , Australia . Evergreen plants autochthonous to either the southwestward of the state of Western Australia or the easterly glide of the continent grow well in our environment ( Mediterranean clime ; acidulent flaxen loam ; few frosts ) . You may not be familiar with some of these plants , and hence , I have posted some picture of their flowers for your data and , hopefully , enjoyment . ”
