jackiemilesDescription
On Razorback FT, Wadbilliga, probably the first major flowering event since the 2020 fire. This was one of the few shrubs in this area not visibly affected by Phytophthora; all looked healthy and flowering profusely. Flower colour white or pink.

Flowering at 15 months after this little heath patch was burnt. We also had it in flower at our 8 months post-fire visit - a quick recoverer.

jackiemilesDescription
When we last (3.5 weeks ago) visited this small heath patch, burnt c. 15 months ago, I could only find a few seedlings of this species. Now a couple are in flower.

Paperbark Tea Tree (Gaudium trinervium)Observer
jackiemilesDescription
A few large plants on the edge of this tiny heath patch were only partially scorched in the winter 2023 fire here, and have bounced back quickly. There are a few seedlings (P4) nearby, but none further out in the heath.

What
Craspedia canensObserver
jackiemilesDescription
Just the one plants seen. At nearly 4 years post-fire the sedges and shrubs are well recovered and there isn't a lot of room for forbs any more. Plus the spring has been a bit dry to date. It keys to canens and not variabilis on account of the tangled woolly hairs on the leaves.

Whisky Grass (Andropogon virginicus)Observer
jackiemilesDescription
Four plants in the unmown grass at one end of the cemetery, the start of an infestation if not dealt with.

What
Acacia georgensisObserver
jackiemilesDescription
These are a couple of cultivated specimens, about 5 years old, currently flowering. We visited the Kianinny population last week and it was showing no sign of bud or flowers. I've noticed with wild populations of A. georgensis that they don't flower in dry seasons. Comes of growing on infertile, skeletal soils no doubt.

What
Aglaosoma variegataObserver
jackiemilesDescription
Matches caterpillars we have had identified as this in the past, although the blue raised bits at the base of the lateral hair tufts are a bit more subtle on this animal then previous ones. Just saw the one, on Lomandra longifolia in Melaleuca armillaris scrub.

What
Golden Weather-Grass (Hypoxis hygrometrica)Observer
jackiemilesDescription
Only noticed one flowering plant in this small heath patch at c. 14-15 months post-fire. This is often one of the first species to reappear in burnt heath, but we haven't recorded it on earlier post-fire visits to this heath.
