Wildlife Snuggery Crochet Hanging Basket

Meet Leilani a Possum in the care of Kinjarling Marsupial Rescue.  When this Snuggery was hung in her enclosure Leilani was quick to snuggle up in it and that is how these crochet hanging baskets came to be called a "Snuggery".

    I had no idea what a banksia pod was, so had to look it up (I am now more knowledgeable than I was an hour ago and it's not even 9am!). What interesting looking flowers and pods they produce.

    I'm with Debbie - I had no idea either! Very interesting looking pod - would have really struggled to work out what the first photo was if you hadn't said!

      I think the parrots got to that first one, it looks a bit chewed on and the seed is gone.

      Hahaha, I wonder if growls or hoots or what sound it would make if it were an animal? =D

      spouting fire would be good (does look like it belongs to the dragon family - although being made of wood = not so good!)

      Well, I guess you can't win them all. A wood dragon does sound hazardous.

      Wood turners make little wooden things out of them and they are just fascinating.

      Wonderful. I was right guessing plant but thought they were some sort of gall. I have a wood turning friend who would love these. #MySundayPhoto

      Okay, now it's my turn to Google, I've never heard of a gall before....ohh I see, they're strange looking growth abnormalities. Wikipedia was very helpful with an explanation.
