What sort of leaf is that Marty? I think I might get one (or should I get two?) :)

Well, south Marty, it would depend on 1. how big the leaf is; 2. whether the said leaves are held vertically or horizontally...one can be very economical with the right sort of leaves.

The leaf you need Heather is the leaf of the Miconia which grow up to 70cm long. They are a noxious weed and eradication is underway with great urgency so any help you could offer in utilising these as a fashion item would be much appreciated. :lol: :lol: The leaves are green on one side and purple on the other so they are very versatile. They have been found in FNQ, Northern NSW and SE Qld but won't be around for much longer hopefully.

I may not always succeed in making a difference, but I will go to my grave knowing I at least tried.

I don’t see any negative response from Roo so I guess he has just wandered out of the jungle and into the Lions Den. ;)

Me I’m just jealous. (The Lions Dem being his local about 2/3 k from his front gate.)

TTFN 8-)
