It's just over four weeks since the bushfire claimed half of the property. It is still all black and covered in ash and it still smells burnt too. But...
The Zamias will not be beaten! Bright green growth is appearing from the centre of many of the plants!
I have read that Zamias have much of their stems underground, which means it is protected from fire. Hence the new growth appearing so quickly!
And we've had very little rain!
When I looked closely at this grass tree I can see new spines in the centre that are all green, no brown tips like the surrounding spines!
Another large tree fell down yesterday, unfortunately. The fire must have got into the roots.
