My mandarin fruited for the first time this year as we.. we got four! I've an orange, put in the same time as a lime and lemon tree. Had 2 oranges so far, Zero limes and have a dozen lemons on the tree currently. A mango that is struggling a bit and a couple of avacadoa that grew out of the compost that need planting.
yesh I had a bout a dozen man died and 8 blood oranges…man they were good. Want 80 not 8 this year. Covered in flowers now
Let's not pigeonhole ourselves too much, I'd like to discuss native birds and orchids a little bit too.

We have pear, apricot, lime, lemon and mandarin trees.The apricot tree is basically dead unfortunately and the mandarin tree gives heaps of fruit but is a favourite of pests. The seedless oranges we get though are honestly the most incredible oranges I’ve ever eaten, would eat 50 of them in one sitting if I could
maidavale end of Forry, poshman?
Do you mean birds and possums or insects?

My neighborhood too Tony. Grew up in ‘Clifton Hills’ and live in Mt Richon (Armadale Hills) now. Beautifully underrated part of Perth.

Not me! As I keep telling my children, I am going to live forever.
(Their invariable response is a chorus of "No you're not!")
Back on topic all you w***ers 
This weird native has grenade like buds along the stems.
I put in my everlasting a a bit late and they are now starting to flower.
Also, Paraclete, if you are going to live forever you are definitely gonna get old. That's how it works. There's a future for you where you couldn't name an album released in the last decade and tell kids off for doing burnouts on your street. On the plus side blue cheese is pretty damn good.

Back on topic, my father used to grow these for commercial sale. The ones that used to line the verge on Great Eastern Highway at G.O. Edwards Park back in the late nineties would have been sold to the Town of Victoria Park by him*. Even sold some to King Fahd back in the day**
* I didn't bother to check with Dad in case I'm remembering incorrectly and it spoils the story by not being true.
** Pretty sure this is actually true without asking. Even if presumably it was underlings making the purchase rather than the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques himself.
One foot in the grave. You've been on this site for over a decade.
Who is King Fahd?
Also, I think everyone regards whatever age their Dad is as old.

Just had lunch at the Bassendean Hotel. It’s fair to say the old Basso looked lots different last time I was there which was many moons ago. I must admit it’s nicely done and being kid and dog friendly is a bonus. Club Sanga was very good if a little bit pricey ($29) but I guess most decent places in Perth are pricey nowadays. I paid $8.50 for nonalcoholic beer
