Getting lazy - or just short on time

This is a combined post for the past two weeks that John, Michael, and I have been in the bushland.
On the 19th Feb we worked down at the southern end of the bushland - removing veldgrass, natal grass, and a fine crop of ti-trees that had sprung up since our last visit. I am always amazed how big the ti-trees get before we see them! Once we see one of them we usually find a whole lot more little ones to remove.
On the 26th Feb we worked on a patch of veldgrass along the western pathway. All around that patch it looked good, but there were quite a few isolated plants within this area that we concentrated on. The recent rains have given them a bit of a boost, so the veldgrass is beginning to sprout again ...
This is a plant that I didn't recognize - will have to look up the book.
This zamia flower had opened up to reveal the bright red seed pods.
