We met up at Paul Kennedy’s home (pictured) for a tour around his gardens lead by Kevin Collins. Also present was Cherree and Ian Densley and Geoff Beilby. Following this, it was off to the local nursery (owned by APS Member, Rao) where he showed us inside his propagation house. Here we had an unexpected shower when the sprinklers came on! Our members have never moved so fast in their lives!! We all came away (a bit wet) with some cutting samples growing roots in peat plugs. We all had something to take home and pot up. After a meal at the local bowls club, we attended the talk by Kevin Collins, there was a great attendance of some 33 people, shows the depth of knowledge and respect people have for him. He spoke for an hour and a half, without a Powerpoint presentation and we all came away knowing a lot more about banksias. What a wonderful afternoon and evening we had, very enjoyable and thanks to Paul Kennedy for helping to arrange everything. Photo: Bob Artis 4 Australian Plants Society - Warrnambool & District Group May 2019 Newsletter April Display Table by Kerry Artis Correas are starting to flower now and Kevin Sparrow brought along a number, including ‘Autumn Blaze’, re- flexa, a pink hybrid, glabra var turnbullii and ‘Split Belle’, all looking great at the moment. Hoya australis is a beautiful, twining climber, bearing umbels of white, waxy flowers which have a strong scent. It has set seed pre- viously and can be grown from cutting. Hakea ‘Burrendong Beauty’ has prickly leaves and bright pink flowers all along the stems which the bees love. Hakea cycloptera and Hakea scoparia are both flowering with scoparia’s flowers starting off cream and ending up pink. Eremophila glabra Tar Bush is a very variable shrub growing to 2.5m high with smooth or hairy leaves and tubular flowers to 3cm long in yellow, green or red, which appear most of the year. It is a very hardy plant and can be grown from cutting or grafted onto Myoporum root- stock. Mike Halls showed us Templetonia retusa Cockie’s Tongue, (photo right) a rounded, spreading shrub up to 2m which has large, red pea-flowers, requires good drainage, does well in limestone soils and is resistant to salt spray.

After thirty two years, this still remains our primary goal. Others may be focusing elsewhere, but we remain firmly committed to the independent retailers and landscape professionals that have long been loyal to us. We thank our customers for their continued business and offer them this 2011 catalog with many exciting new plants, but no overall price increases. We also remain committed to the fact that water remains a precious and limited commodity. To this end we continue to expand our line of water conserving succulents and plants from mediterranean climates, including many from our own California flora. This catalog has 145 new plants, which are all listed at the back of this catalog and are accompanied within the catalog body with a star ( ). Of these new plants, 56 are succulents, bringing the total number of succulents we now grow to 379, and 29 are California native plants, bringing our total of native plants to 156. We also are proud to offer 9 new plants from the UC Santa Cruz Koala Blooms Australian Native Plant program and so now are growing 29 great plants from this program and bringing to 190 the total number of different Australian plants that we currently grow.

That is except for 2 intrepid travellers who made a determined effort to be there ! Questions and answers: At this meeting all members attending will be encouraged to : discuss their successes in growing Australian plants, divulge special tips and tricks they have learned over the years, ask the difficult questions about why certain plants just don’t do what they are supposed, and maybe find a solution to a problem which continues to defy best efforts. Pests and diseases might also warrant discussion, but anyone who wishes to bring a live specimen of such, is asked to ensure it is well contained within a plastic bag. Jenny and Pete have enough of their own, and would not appreciate adding to their collection of problems. All members attending are welcome to bring along some plant specimens for discussion.

  • Provisional List of Plants Requiring Urgent Management Intervention
    WILDLIFE AND THREATENED SPECIES BUSHFIRE RECOVERY EXPERT PANEL Provisional list of plants requiring urgent management intervention Released on 23 April 2020 The 2019-20 bushfires in southern and eastern Australia have had severe impacts on many of the country’s approximately 25,000 plant species. The fires have covered an unusually large area and, in many places, have burnt with unusually high intensity. Although many plants have the capacity to respond positively to fire, the cumulative impact of the 2019-2020 fires and other stressors like high fire frequency or severity, drought, herbivory, or disease places many species at risk. Some species were considered threatened before the fires, and the fires have now likely increased their risk of extinction. Many other fire-affected plant species were not threatened before the fires - or had not previously had an assessment of extinction risk undertaken - but have now been burnt across much of their range, and may lack an ability to recover without help. To support protection and recovery of many of the fire-affected species, conservation action will be needed at many sites. This management will be supported by a wide range of government agencies, non-government conservation organisations, university researchers, Traditional Owner ranger teams, community groups and the public. A national provisional prioritisation was undertaken to assess 19,004 plant species against a set of eleven criteria which combine the proportion of the geographic range that burned, species fire response traits, and the interactive effects of other stressors such as drought, herbivory, disease, weed invasion and erosion. This prioritisation identified 709 plants as being at high risk from the impacts of the 2019-20 bushfires.
