Though a cold-hardy native of Japan and Sakhalin, the prostrate Shore Juniper tolerates the hot and humid climate of far-north Queensland and is quite commonly seen on the coastal plain as ground cover in amenity plantings.
Moss rose is a prostrate, trailing, multi-branched annual with semisucculent stems and leaves. It reaches about 6 in (15 cm) tall with a spread of 12 in (30.5 cm) The reddish stems and the bright green leaves are thick and soft and juicy. The leaves are cylindrical, about an inch long, and pointed on the tips. The roselike flowers are about an inch across and come in bright colors like rose pink, red, yellow, white, and orange. Some are striped or spotted with contrasting colors. The flowers are borne on the stem tips, and they open only during bright sunlight, closing at night and on cloudy days.
A bit difficult to discern in the light available for this shot, but '769 carries a one off livery of black instead of GBRf's blue as the main bodyside colour highlighting this worthwhile cause.

Native, yearlong green, perennial, prostrate to decumbent, pleasantly aromatic (Geranium-like odour), moderately to densely hairy herb. Leaves are decussate and have 15–25 mm long petioles; lamina are depressed to very broadly ovate, 35–40 mm long and 45–50 mm wide; margins are bicrenate with 7–10 rounded teeth. Flowerheads are compact cymose clusters. Calyces have a maroon outer surface or are partly green. Corollas are tubular, 2-lobed and 6 mm long; the tube is white and lobes bright blue with a purple tinge; upper lobes ± erect; lower lobes extended forward. Stamens have a purple tinge. Flowering is throughout year. A rare ROTAP species, which grows in shallow sandy soils of rocky coastal headlands on the North Coast of NSW.
Introduced, warm-season, annual, erect or prostrate, tufted grass to 1 m tall. Leaves are flat, hairless (except for a few scattered hairs near the base) and usually have a pale midrib. There is no ligule. Flowerheads are an erect primary axis of racemes (to 22 cm long) with relatively short branches; with conspicuous hairs in the axils and along the racemes. Spikelets are 2.5-4 mm long and 2 flowered (fertile lemma smooth and shiny), with the apices ending abruptly in a short point or having an awn to 5 cm long. Flowers during the warmer months. Possibly a native of Asia, it is a common weed of disturbed areas, especially where there is excess moisture (e.g. wasteland, agricultural land, riverbanks, drains, shallow/drying swamps). An indicator of disturbed moist areas. A weed of summer crops. Produces palatable and good quality feed when grazed during early growth stages, but becomes harsh and unpalatable when mature. Toxic levels of nitrate can accumulate in the plant; this is especially dangerous when the plant is wilted and more attractive to stock. Rarely managed individually in pastures due to its low abundance in coastal pastures. Will decrease where dense ground cover is maintained over summer.

This image may not fit into the category of pictures that are usually in the group I have added this too, BUT a Suggestion by soupysoupysuesue, (thanks), another member on Flickr, got me thinking.
November or MOVEMBER as it is increasingly becoming known as, is the month when men all over the world grow a moustache to raise awareness of prostrate cancer and other serious male health problems. I thought that this might be a little bit of fun just to help raise awareness, for the coming growing season. It has been done with a very quick touch of PP and NOT graffiti.

Usually a prostrate shrub above the tree-line, Podocarpus lawrencei occurs as a small tree in only three known places. Echo Flat, Lake Mountain, in the central highlands of Victoria, a site on the Mersey River in Tasmania and in a very isolated occurrence of the species at the above site.
Native, cool season, annual or short-lived perennial, prostrate, spreading herb. Leaves are rhombic to lanceolate, semi-succulent and to 10 cm long. Flowers are small, 4-5-lobed and yellowish. Fruit are woody and winged. Flowering is from late winter to early summer. Mostly grows along margins of salt marshes and in protected sites along the coast, but is found in all parts of New South Wales and across Australia.

Native, warm season, perennial herb. Stems are creeping, prostrate to decumbent and slender, with strongly retrorse-strigose hairs. Leaves are hastate, 2.5–8 cm long and 6–17 mm wide,with hairs on veins and margins; ocreas have scattered rather spreading hairs, hairless on upper margin. Flowerheads have 1–6 small, rather isolated clusters borne on 2 or 3 relatively long branches at 5–15 mm intervals; only 1 mature flower per cluster at any one time. Perianth segments are 2.7–4.0 mm long and pink or white. Widespread, but occasional, in eastern Australia, occurring on the coast and Western Slopes. Grows on margins of swamps and lagoons. Not eaten by stock unless desperate.
Introduced, cool-season, annual, low-growing, hairless legume, with prostrate to ascending stems. Leaves have 3 leaflets, each oblong to round and 4-13 mm long. The central leaflet has a distinctly longer stalk than the lateral ones. Flowerheads are loose to somewhat dense hemispherical clusters (6-7 mm long) of 3-20 yellow pea-like flowers. Flowering is in spring. A native of Europe, it is found in pastures, woodlands, lawns and roadsides. Although it often occurs at reasonably high density in short pastures, productivity is low and it has a high proportion of stem to leaf. It is palatable and grows from autumn to early summer (very dependent on rainfall), but only produces useful amounts of feed in spring. Requires moist soil for growth, so tends to burn-off rapidly in late spring as temperatures rise and soil moisture often remains low. Growth increases with applied phosphorus as long as pastures are kept short in late winter and early spring, but the response is likely to be too small to be economic.
Our previous sightings of this plant has been that they grow on laterite ridges so it was interesting to see it growing in the sand.
It is a low sprawling shrub with its flowers extending from the plant and sitting on the ground.
Here you can see open flowers within the head of flowers, also containing closed flowers.
Many of the styles of the flowers had been chewed off and occasionally the petals had their tips chewed as well.

Prostrate to semi-prostrate annual or perennial, herb, 0.02-0.3 m high, 0.3-2 m wide. Fl. yellow & orange/yellow & brown, Apr to Nov.
A prostrate annual herb widely distributed in tropical/subtropical regions of the world. T. terrestris and T. cistoides(大花蒺藜) are listed in Flora of Taiwan (2nd ed.), and then Huang&Hsieh added the 3rd one (Taiwania 1994) – T. taiwanense(台灣蒺藜). And then Flora of China treated T. taiwanense as the synonym of T. cistoides. Now World Flora Online treats T. taiwanense as “ambiguous” species. The images in this set may include all of them. 感覺上植物學家對如何區分它們有不同的見解。 (以大花蒺藜的花梗長度為例，Flora of North America的描述和Flora of China的手繪圖就明顯和Flora of Taiwan的手繪圖不一致。)

Flowerheads have 2-4 yellow pea-like flowers (about 7 mm long) in the leaf axils. Pods are narrow, cylindrical and 6-15 mm long. Flowering is in spring and summer. A native of the Mediterranean region, it is widespread in grasslands. Provides a low yield of high quality feed, with a low bloat risk. Adapted to low fertility soils and shows low to moderate response to applied phosphorus. It is slow to establish and has slow initial growth, but is tolerant of heavy continuous grazing.

Introduced warm-season perennial, hairless to hairy herb. Stems are prostrate and less than 15 cm long. Leaves are opposite, ovate, 0.7-2.5 cm long and 0.2-0.5 cm wide. Flowerheads are heads of a few to many, small (2-4 mm long), white flowers, with 4 petals and 4-5 sepals. Leaf-like bracts surrounding the flowerheads are nearly hairless on the upper surface. Flowering is from late winter to autumn. A native of South America, it is a weed of disturbed places, such as river flats, stockyards and roadsides. It is only abundant in hard conditions (sandy soils with low water holding capacity) where there is low ground cover or where there has been disturbance from ploughing or flooding. An indicator of disturbance and poor ground cover. Of little importance to livestock grazing, as it usually occurs in low abundance, is very low growing and produces little bulk. Control is rarely required, as abundance is suppressed with healthy vigorous pastures. Herbicides are registered for its control.
