@ Smooth-Lipped Spider Orchid
White Daisy Egg My pets are in awe of these beautiful eggs—they would love to try to paint their own one year. Easter and spring are times of joy as the earth awakens, plants are pushing forth from the soil, and the days are becoming warmer. Many baby animals are born in the spring, and life is burgeoning. May these eggs bring you joy and be a reminder of the earth renewing itself.

In the end they each went for a tasty assortment, plus extra to take home as a delicious souvenir of Kewdale, Western Australian! Football Meatpies Kangaroos and Holden Cars While their American counterparts were laying down rubber in pickup trucks and Cadillacs, the Australian youth of the 1960s were saving their pennies to become the proud owners of the first locally produced EJ Holdens, resplendent with 6 cylinder 149 grey motors.
