A Blog about Frogs.

My garden from an upstairs window (where I work on my blogs about frogs). Here's a small section of my garden where I grow a variety of bromeliads. They are easy to grow in the Sydney area and even easier as you travel North. Easy, because the don't rely on their root system for nutrients, and as long as they are not allowed to dry out, they're fine. Every year, young plants or "pups" grow from the base and can be removed when they are about half the adult size.

Peron's tree frog is one of the most variably coloured frogs in Australia, with the ability to change colour in less than one hour. It varies in shades of grey and brown, where its lightest is almost white. The frog has mottled yellow and black thighs, armpits, and groin. Occasionally, emerald spots are found on the back, which increase in number with age. A characteristic uncommon in the genus Litoria is pupils which appear cross-shaped. This characteristic is only shared with Tyler's tree frog within the Litoria genus. The male Peron's tree frog is about 44–53 mm, while females are 46–65 mm.
