30/10/16 Sisyrinchium micranthum (aka *Sisyrinchium iridifolium). Blue pigroot or striped rush-leaf; from Mexico. Quite pretty, but a bad guy, have to make sure the roots come out when you pull it out.

Flax-leaf Broom (Genista linifolia)

This is Sweet Pittosporum (Pittosporum undulatum) and although it is a native, it is growing out of control at our place. Please pull it out while you are walking around. |

Bridal Creeper (Asparagus asparagoides) which is a weed
It turns yellow in Summer which makes it easier to identify. 11/2017 - luckily we have found a biological control - a rust - which has stopped it from flowering this year - I wonder if that means there will be none next year? |

Asparagus fern (Asparagus scandens)
Such pretty flowers for a weed!

Bluebell creeper - native to WA but not Vic. This stuff is everywhere - pull it out! It looks a lot like Climbing Appleberry (another good guy) so be careful!
