Some more plants typical of the Gippsland Red Gum Grassy Woodland, remnant populations with so much lost to agriculture. Firstly from the rail trail locally, Pultenaea pedunculata and Dillwynia cinerascens.
Matted Bush-pea.
Grey Parrot-pea.
Dianella revoluta, syn. admixta, the Black-anther Flax-lily, forms large patches.
Arthropodium strictum, the common but delightful Chocolate Lily.
Moving on to the local cemetery, Caesia calliantha, the Blue Grass-lily. The spent flowers twirl into a tight spiral, one can be seen lower right.
Diuris punctata, the Purple Doubletail, having a reasonable season despite the lack of rain.
Another favourite, Burchardia umbellata, Milkmaids.
