You asked me to take photos. Here are some:
Brunonia australis: blue pincushion and Caladenea carnea: pink fingers orchid
Microseris: native yam daisy and Stylidium: trigger plant
Arthropodium strictum: chocolate lily and Burchardia umbellata: milkmaids
Dianella
Goodenia geniculata
Pimelea humilis
Matted Pratia
Native violets
When we got there I was thinking there wasn’t much out. But once you start looking, it wasn’t too bad at all.

Same here. All great photos.
Anyone want to Name that Insect? They were very taken with the yam daisies. Quite a lot of them around.
What is it with women and flowers?
Oh, and if IDs are wrong, please say so.

I do fungi too. They sit still. Birds keep moving and are a lot harder to photograph.
And for moll…grass (Nineawn grass, I think) and fern (I can’t remember what this fern is called. It is ground hugging and small).

Squeee! Thanks Buffy, love them all. Very especially pleased with Brunonia which featured often in my grandmother’s paintings, and yam daisy, which I have here, flowering and setting seed. And that lovely fern too. Oh, and the Caladenea.
How big is the Brunonia? It’s a pleasing shape and colour.
Clumpy little plant that sends up longer stems of flowers. I should try growing it again, I love that blue.

Asplenium flabellifolium is commonly known as the necklace fern. This small fern occurs in all states of Australia, as well as in New Zealand. It was initially described by Spanish botanist Antonio José Cavanilles. Its natural habitats are open forest or rainforest. Usually on the ground, but sometimes epiphytic. Wikipedia
Asplenium flabellifolium hey. Try saying that 3 times quickly.
Isn’t that a Daniel Keyes story?

Ah yes. Thanks. I didn’t know it was there until after the bushfire when the Very Knowledgeable Lady who grows stuff for reveg around here came out a number of times with me into the burnt areas. She collected seed and IDd stuff for me. It’s amazing to be with someone who can look at two leaves coming out of the ground and say…that will be such and such. And then I couldn’t find it again. Like the clover glycine which I found after the fire and I know just where that was but I’ve not seen it again. Anyway, today Mr buffy realigned one of the walking tracks with the tractor – and there was the necklace fern again!
