Brambles growing prostrate to the ground at a former school site. Nature reclaiming the old tarmac playground. Heavily frosted with the cold as sharp as the thorns on the bramble.
Notice on prostrate headstones warning "not to attempt to re-erect these memorials without the use (sic) of an approved memorial mason" all for "your own safety". Obviously an orgy of 'anti-vandalism' has been sweeping this Clevedon Church.

Native, warm-season, prostrate, ascending or erect, much-branched, hairless herb. Grows in heath and swampy areas, extending into open sclerophyll forest on damp sandy soils
The native annual prostrate forb, Tiquilia nuttallii, is most abundant in sandy swales. Stem branching is dichotomous, the leaf venation is furrowed on the upper surface, and the leaf hairs are coarse, as is characteristic of many borage species. This site lies in the Wyoming big sagebrush steppe of the Idaho National Laboratory, east of Lincoln Blvd and south of Shell Road, Butte County, Idaho.

Flowers occur on minute pedicels and are erect to deflexed after anthesis. Petals are 3–6 mm long, longer than the sepals, pink and not persistent. Fruit are woolly. Flowering i in spring.

Commersonia prostrata is a prostrate, mat-forming shrub with trailing branches to 2m long and is a pioneer species which appears after fire, flooding or clearing. It occurs disjunctly in south-east Australia, from the Gippsland Lakes hinterland in Victoria to the Tomago sandbeds north-east of Newcastle in NSW and is known from only 31 sites - 24 in Victoria and seven in NSW. In Victoria, Commersonia prostrata is found in the Rosedale-Stradbroke-Providence Ponds area of central Gippsland. In NSW, the majority of known sites occur near Tallong, Penrose and Goulburn on the Southern Tablelands; and also near Newcastle. Main threats are swamp drainage, reduced fire-frequency, weed invasion, browsing by native and introduced mammals and sand mining. Photo: Greg Steenbeeke
