We are getting someone out to take a look at the holes. I grew up on the Hornsby Plateau where they were plentiful but never saw their burrows. It does seem strange that they are out in the open. Hopefully they are just common trapdoor spiders.Melindanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797396120087729156.post-21571222698396901672014-02-14T06:37:09.725+11:002014-02-14T06:37:09.725+11:00Hi Melinda

They were plentiful on Sydney's north shore, where I grew up, but they don't appear to like my part of town.<br />Funnel webs might not be the only creatures making those holes (usually funnel web holes are in cool, moist spots like under rocks or rotting logs) so I suggest you talk to a local pest control company, who might have a better idea of who's making those holes in the ground.<br />Hope it all works out OK for you, Melinda.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14653345793213312242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797396120087729156.post-90366628967060650292014-02-13T23:00:58.331+11:002014-02-13T23:00:58.331+11:00Hi Jamie,
Apologies my comment is not related to y...Hi Jamie,<br />Apologies my comment is not related to your post. Have you ever encountered funnel web spiders in your garden? We've recently moved to a house with a large garden in the Southern Highlands and I am disturbed by all the funnel web holes (in some cases every 30cm apart). I'm fine with creepy crawlies and snakes but the idea of all these funnel webs is deterring me from digging around in the soil!Melindanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797396120087729156.post-16618219970508516682014-02-03T17:32:06.249+11:002014-02-03T17:32:06.249+11:00Lovely flowers, first time I've heard of them,...Lovely flowers, first time I've heard of them, they'll probably grow well here in Delhi, will keep a look out for them as Tulips & daffodils are one year wonders here too.<br /><br />Another first through your blog is the word "etiolated".

You'd have to choose your spot carefully (semi shade) and give them a steady supply of water, but they are tough plants.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14653345793213312242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797396120087729156.post-76430847981938870432014-02-02T03:27:21.724+11:002014-02-02T03:27:21.724+11:00Those Pineapple Lillie's are beautiful!
