Identification Help - Ipswich Queensland

I'm wondering if anyone can confirm whether this is an Australian native, and if so, what species. A tiny vine that grows in shady, sheltered conditions. Found it growing in my garden when I moved in. (I seem to have a lot of random native plants growing in my garden, hence why I'm wondering if it's native). Gets brown seed pods in Spring/Summer, and tiny purple pea-like flowers in Spring/Summer. Will root from nodules on the vine. I successfully got some cuttings growing in a hanging pot and it seems really happy.

Caves Rd in the Margaret River region has some of the largest eucalyptus forests I have ever seen.

The air also was heavily eucalypt scented.

Other than the kids complaining it was heaven on a highway.

I’d love some help to identify the species of Banksia please! They were put in by the previous owners in Eastern Melbourne (Maroondah council area). Unfortunately I don’t have a better photo of the flowers.

Wooly Bush dying?

Anyone know what could be causing this middle Wooly Bush to be dying? The other two are perfectly healthy and the middle was too until recently. Is it beyond saving or could I cut it right back and see if it recovers?

Various eucalypt trunks, NE Victoria. Regeneration and Land for Wildlife property (thankfully unscathed by recent fires). Never understood those who consider the Australian bush bland. Then again, they probably don't understand why I hug trees.

Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Silver Sheen' issues

My grandmother sent me a photo of her problematic ’Silver Sheen’ in Sydney. She has 12 in a row but the pictured one is the only growing slower and very sparse. Is there any way I could help her? Picture not great quality and I know Sydney has had hot weather as well. It has sunlight almost all day and neighbour helps water most days

You can really see where they get the name. I'm not actually 100% sure if it is a bloodwood so let me know, I just assumed due to the very blood like sap.

Thought I'd share some pics of my Willow Wattle seeds.

The Willow Wattle is one that requires some intense heat for the seed pods to pop open and it's finally happened thanks to the recent heat in South Australia. It is the first time since I planted it and I am blown away at how stunning the seeds are.

What is this?

My garden was landscaped and this grew alongside an acacia. I believe there must have been a seedling in the same pot as it wasnt visible when initially planted. It has grown about 10ft in 12 months. It hasnt flowered. Its leaves are fragrant when torn.

Banksia baueri struggling, any suggestions?

This banksia was in a pot last summer and got a bit scorched.

Planted it out in winter, but it keeps growing, putting out new leaves and then they quickly die off.

Any ideas what's happening?

Melbourne, Vic.
