January 5th week

Priorities:

  • Montbretia - look for the orange flowers
  • Lilies are flowering, get flowers before they seed, bulbs where you can.
  • McKellar Glade is out of control - get Polygala now in purple and white flower
  • Big Fleabanes along the Cycleway in grassy area - need to bag seeds & flowers
  • Turkey Rhubarb flourishing around three small sandpaper figs west of the Cycleway, 40m south of the bridge. 

Polygala Vulgaris

Andrew's Amnesia is due a visit. At least 8 of our usual su...
