A productive morning

It felt quite productive pulling out Geraldton Carnation Weeds in Health Department land. This is a place where we have been working for several years now, and still the plants keep coming up ... hopefully we will exhaust the seed bank one day soon...

Speak of the devil!

Blue Devils (Eryngium rostratum) are coming out - I love their bizarre flowers.

 John and I did the grand tour of the bushland, searching out Geraldton Carnation Weeds, Freesias, Watsonias and African Corn Flags - all of which we found and removed. Job satisfaction guaranteed when you find what you are looking for! One patch of African Corn Flag was too big to deal with - will need to return. Also, didn't finish off the Geraldton Carnation Weeds in the Health Department land.
Also came across spots sprayed by the 'Biodiversity' spraying contractor - I couldn't work out what he was targetting. Seemed to be anything that didn't look native along the path side.

Donkeys everywhere

Lots of donkey orchids are out at present - other orchids are also coming. They don't appear to have suffered from the March hail storm.

John and I tackled the Freesias and Geraldton Carnation Weeds along the western path.
