Hey Jibbs a swan plant is the only plant the Monarchs will lay their eggs on it's leafy, and I have one thats about 4 years old and about 5 feet tall, they are known as swan plants because of the way the seed pods look which is like a swans body shape with a long stalk leading back to the bush like a swans neck,  yip being called a great Galah is a popular expression in Aussie for sure LOL! (meaning crazy silly bugger in a friendly teasing way ) a Galah is a rose breasted grey backed cockatoo and I think their quite beautiful to look at so thats not so bad eh  I tend to leave a lot of the leafs to protect my bulbs from frost, and the rest go on the compost, don't ya hate that Autumn clean up  |
