Black flag - up and away!

Good rains in early autumn have been a stimulus for black flag (Ferraria crispa). We still don't have an effective way of controlling this weed, so are currently marking its locations, and hope to control it when we discover how to!

Also came across some fountain grass (Pennisetum setaceum) which we can just dig out - and have been for the past 12 years or so. Not sure why we keep finding it - whether the seeds are long-lived in the soil, or whether the occasional plant setting seed is all it needs to keep on maintaining its presence in the bushland.
