Freesia Weeding

Now that winter really appears to have arrived, the Freesias are flourishing and we have been removing them from the southern end of the bushland.
Lots of flowers are coming along. We have been joined by a Shenton College student (Corne) who has shared these great photos with us:

Coral Fungus

Diviesia triflora

Hibberrtia recemosa

Planting day(s)

We had a couple of hundred trees (mainly casuarina) germinated for us by APACE that we planted out along behind the fence.

Winter not really

Warm sunny days, cool nights ... an endless autumn rather than any real winter ...
However, some winter weeds are coming up - freesia and the occasional lachenalia - so we are gradually moving into our winter weeding pattern.
John, Michael, and I worked down at the southern end of the bushland, removing some Natal grass that persists in coming up after we dig it out - must be quite a seed bank in the soil - which we wish to deplete.

Checking in a known problem area for Freesia and Veldgrass, there is quite a bit of freesia coming up. Michael and I also inspected the known problem area for Lachenalia to see what is happening there (it has been sprayed for the past few years) - very little lachenalia visible yet. Will need to come back in a few weeks.
