Grass Tree (Xanthorrhoea glauca) in flower, small white flowers on long flower spike, tiny droplet of nectar in the flower.

#xanthorrhoea glauca flowers #ausplants

Plant app 23 years old (I collected the seed for it) & flowering for the first time, my other ones are yet to flower.

Some observations:
Easy to grow from seed
Don't "need" fire for flowering, moving or germination
Trunk growth 3-5cm/yr if roots have room.

Grass Triggerplant (Stylidium graminifolium) has a rather ingenious pollination method; 2 stamens form a rigid column which is triggered when an insect lands on the flower to dong pollen on it's head. The triggers can be reset.
