In sunshine and rain,
amongst resilient weeds,
perseveres a rose.

Cross-section of a bamboo plant

Inside all of us,
hollow spaces full of void—
we are bamboozled.

Hidden balls of gold—
scattered throughout my garden—
edible treasures.

People leaving their mark on the Adelaide Botanical Garden

Tall dark and handsome,
clumper of bamboos await
