Pink rose
this is the only rose I own
I am not a rose person and find them over rated as flowers
this one survived by accident (my sister took the others)
I thought it had died
then a shoot started from really low down and when it flowered this is the result
I am guessing it is from the original root stock
so for now it is surviving with no looking after (a requirement for plants in my garden, the other is they should be native, local preferably)
quite a cute rose really, understated rather than showy

Galah
Eolophus roseicapilla, also known as the Rose-breasted Cockatoo or more commonly a pink and grey galah, in my acacia tree (Acacia saligna) in my back yard.
They seem to like the green seed pods, before the seeds mature.
