Flower bower!

July 21, 2009 05:44 by Luke

The Forest Gallery's Silver Wattles have started flowering- an indicator of the start of seasonal activity in plants and animals in the tall forests.  The indigenous Kulin people recognised the period around August, marked by wattle and orchid blooms, as a distinct season.  'Jack' the mature male Satin Bower Bird in the Forest Gallery has plucked choice wattle blooms from the tree canopy and used them to decorate his bower in preparation for the mating season.  Many people know Satin Bower Birds collect blue objects, but closer observation will show they also collect yellowing grass stems and yellow flowers from Silver Wattles, Mountain Correa and Purple Appleberry.  The Forest Gallery's committed horticultural staff are developing strategies to protect tender plants from the predations of the bower birds.

There are certainly a lot of details like that to take into consideration. That is a great point to bring up. I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing will be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around things like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game.

Great post! I am just starting out in community management/marketing media and trying to learn how to do it well - resources like this article are incredibly helpful. As our company is based in the US, it?s all a bit new to us. The example above is something that I worry about as well, how to show your own genuine enthusiasm and share the fact that your product is useful in that case.

I am not much of a guy who thinks in so deeply about web design but I think your post had some valid points in it. Like designers are forced to design stuff within the limited code available and not go beyond it, their innovation is somewhat limited but still I think Web Design won't die! I agree that Amazon and other some big sites won't have a blog but now a days it's very important to have some sort of option available so people can quickly communicate their thoughts. I think Amazon if wants to shift it to that, they can get a customized CMS for themselves.

I admire what you have done here. I like the part where you say you are doing this to give back but I would assume by all the comments that this is working for you as well.
