GROUP INFORMATION The Armidale and District Group of APS-­­NSW started on 6th August, 1977 as the New England Group of the Society for Growing Australian . It has been running continuously since that time with a couple of name changes. We are a very friendly and helpful group who enjoy monthly forums and business meetings, garden visits and field trips to help members enjoy the search for knowledge about our native flora and our local environment. We range from raw beginners to others who have been gardening and researching for many years - all willing to share their knowledge. Business Meetings are held at 5.00pm on the second Tuesday of each month. Members are welcome to attend. Native and Garden Forums are held in the TAFE Library Seminar Room on the 3rd Tuesday of each month (except June, July, December and January) from 7.30 – 9.30 where an interesting speaker provides a presentation. The speaker is followed by a delicious supper after which members talk about plants in from specimens displayed on the flower table and share information about gardening topics. Old and new members, visitors and families, are very welcome at these Forums and on our outings (see page 8 for details). Annual General Meeting is held in November. Solstice Function is held in June. Wattle Day Activity is held on a day closest to 1st September. Christmas Party is held early in December at the home of one of our members. We also lead regular trips into the bush and the occasional weekend escape to the coast or elsewhere. We participate in St Peter’s Garden Tour in November each year, opening one of our gardens to the public and holding our Giant Annual Plant Sale. We hold a Market Stall each month in the Mall. Come along and say hello. Our members have also been active in developing and maintaining the Native Garden beds at the Arboretum. We welcome volunteers who would like to help. See p.9 for our calendar and details of events.

ALL YOU NEED TO JOIN OUR GROUP IS AN INTEREST IN OUR NATIVE PLANTS

From your President

Where has the time gone - so much happening.

John and I had a ten day tour through the North Island of . The countryside was very green with plenty of water everywhere - so unlike here where the drought continues and looks like lasting longer. They have a really big problem with gorse bush and pampas grass along many of the roads and waterways, and covering the hills where any ground was disturbed. It looked beautiful with the yellow and white but Oh dear!

Came home to the terrible news that John Wrigley had died suddenly. We went to his funeral at the Coffs Harbour Botanic Gardens that he designed. One of the other things that he designed was the water garden at our own Bicentennial Arboretum. John wrote the Australian Native Plants books so we will miss him terribly. Our best wishes were given to his wife Marcia and their children.

Recently we went to with the Acacia Study Group. We were based in Chinchilla and visited the Barakula State Forest. There were 24 of us and over the weekend we were shown 52 different wattles by locals Len and Joan Hubbard. They also are in drought so I felt really sorry for the cattle and brumbies as there was very very little understory and grasses for them to eat.

Amongst all those that we saw were Acacia barakulensis, Acacia handonis and Acacia debilis.

Next weekend we are off to the Central Coast for the get together.

With many other plant related outings planned our year is passing quickly and that is wonderful.

Keep your spirits up - rain is on the way. Barbara

Vale John Wrigley John Wrigley, AM, BSc, FRAIPR, FRHS, (see portrait) spent more than forty years developing his knowledge of Australian flora. He was curator of the Australian National Botanic Gardens in Canberra from 1967 to 1981 and was actively involved in many horticultural organizations, including the Society for Growing Australian Plants (later ANPS) of which he was elected an honorary life member. His book, Australian Native Plants (written in collaboration with Murray Fagg) has sold over 250,000 copies. He co-authored a number of other books on native flora with Murray Fagg. In 1983 he was made a Member of the Order of for his services to the cultivation and study of Australian flora. His latter years were spent at Coffs Harbour, where he worked as a horticultural consultant. APS-Armidale Group Members may remember meeting him in 2011 when the Coffs Harbour APS group came on a visit. Photo courtesy Coffs Coast Advocate

A warm drink, some food and good conversation prepared 6 of us to set off for the walk. David and Joy decided it was too inclement and headed for home. We left a car at Wright’s Plateau Walk car park and drove up to Banksia Picnic area. The rain was soft but steady when we set off along the upper Lyrebird track.

Banksia neo-anglica was spectacular as an understory to Acacia melanoxylon, Eucalyptus sp and Pepper trees

Dodonaea boroniifolia has proved to be hardy and, once established, has low water requirements. Garden visitors often remark on the colourful capsules that are carried for many months.

Prune lightly every so often to keep plants from becoming straggly.

Dodonaea boroniifolia is widespread in as well Queensland and Victoria.

Propagation is by seed, best soak in hot water before sowing, and cuttings. We only propagate cuttings from female plants to maintain the colourful capsules.

Four Favourite Grevilleas

Contributed by Warren and Gloria Sheather

At last count we have nearly 60 different grevilleas in our garden. This number includes species, cultivars and hybrids. There has been a recent break through in cutting propagation, particularly with grevilleas. We now use commercial seed raising mix together with red Clonex in our propagating unit. Using this mix plus Clonex, cuttings produces healthy faster. This will allow us to increase the number of grevillea plants growing in the garden considerably. These are four of our favourites. , the Spiny Cream Spider Flower, develops into a dense and prickly shrub that reaches a height of two metres in our garden. Leaves are five Above : centimetres long, divided, narrow-linear with prickly points and light green.

Grevillea anethifolia has scattered populations and is In both forms the leaves are up to six centimetres long, found in western NSW, South Australia and southern light green, flat and linear. Flowers are carried in . terminal clusters and are pink or red. The flowering period extends for many months and in fact plants will carry some blooms throughout the year. Light pruning is appreciated.

Grevillea pinaster is a Western Australian native. The low growing form could be grown cascading down

embankments.

Amongst this species’ desirable attributes are its ease of propagation, long flowering period and the constant visits of a range of honeyeaters. (..cont’d)

Grevillea jephcottii is a rare species from Pine Mountain in northeast Victoria. Plants develop into upright, open shrubs with light green hairy leaves. Dense, pale green flowers circle the stems. Blooms age to pale yellow or cream. Both flower arrangement and colour are unusual. As with all the grevilleas described honeyeaters are attracted to the flowers.We have been growing this species for at least 15 years and it has proved to be hardy, free flowering, fast growing and able to cope with our harsh climate.

Arboretum In June, members planted out 28 Eremophila species into the Eremophila Bed. These species have done very well in this area. The small western bed of the arboretum was cleaned up during July and remulched. Currently, the Council is depositing truckloads of mulch onto the large western end of the arboretum as access is available between the trees. Our Committee has approved the use of a backhoe and driver to spread this mulch and to the order of 560 Hiko tubes of Lomandra longifolia for planting in autumn 2015 into this area.

First and Second Flowering

Contributed by Warren and Gloria Sheather

Our dense planting means that we are sometimes pleasantly surprised by coming across plants in flower that we had forgotten about. One such horticultural discovery happened recently when we came across a in full flower. This plant was hiding in a dense shrubbery and this was its first flowering. The specimen is about six years old.

Hakea orthorrhyncha is known as the Bird-beak Hakea. This

Western Australian species grows into a shrub between one to three metres tall. The needle-like leaves are up to 18 centimetres long. Bright red to orange-red flowers are borne in clusters on the old wood in autumn and winter. The profuse and conspicuous flower clusters are often tightly packed along the branches. Honeyeaters are attracted to the blooms. The Above : Hakea orthorrhyncha flowers are followed by persistent woody fruits that have a Below: long pointed beak.

The species name comes from the Greek and means with a straight beak. This refers to the as does the common name.

Propagation is by seed or cuttings. The new growth may give the best results. This is the material that we are trying.

Hakea pycnoneura was found to have flowers in early June. This is the second time this shrub has flowered. The first time was in 2013

Hakea pycnoneura is a rounded shrub that reaches a height of two metres by the same width. The leaves are linear and up to

15 centimetres long with prominent veins. They tend to be greyish with silky hairs. Some years ago, on a trip to Western Australia, we came across this species growing on a roadside.
