We have had a very cold winter and now as spring emerges the cold remains with very wet conditions. Oh how I long for some warm sunshine to brighten our day. However the Hakeas have stood up to the cold weather very well and many have now flowered. Rainfall in August was 30mm but in the first 6 days of September another 56mm was recorded making the soil very moist indeed. The rain kept falling in September with 150mm recorded. Fortunately my drainage work of spoon drains and deeper drains with slotted pipe with blue metal cover on top shed a lot of water straight into the Council drains. Most of the Hakeas like well drained conditions, so building up beds and getting rid of excess water will help in making them survive. The collection here now stands at 162 species out of a possible 169. Seed of some of the remaining species hopefully will arrive here before Christmas so that I can propagate them over summer. Wanderings. Barbara and I spent most of June and July in northern NSW and Queensland to escape the cold conditions down here. I did look around for Hakeas and visited some members’ gardens. Just to the east of Cann River I found Hakea decurrens ssp. physocarpa, Hakea ulicina and Hakea teretifolia ssp. hirsuta all growing on the edge of a swamp.

  • Association of Societies for Growing Australian Plants
    ISSN 0818 - 335X March, 1993 ASSOCIATION OF SOCIETIES FOR GROWING AUSTRALIAN PLANTS THE AUSTRALIAN DAISY STUDY GROUP NEWSLETTER N0.35 Dear Members, I have just returned from a long weekend at Mount Hotham. Five ADSG members joined a walking group and once again our alpine sojourn was marred by weather. We arrived on a day of 40'C and left in dense fog. We had one good morning of walking and botanising and thereafter intermittent rain storms, sunshine and mist. The daisies were near their peak - lush and floriferous - celmisias in dense clumps as white as fresh snow and Brachyscome nivalis in innumerable tufts scattered over the slopes. B. spathulata and B.rigidula were still in bud, but B.decipien.5 was in full flower, hiding among the grasses. Craspedias were yet to reveal their full glory, but there were enough in flower to check out the new names . In November ADSG took part in a week-long seminar 'Towards a better understanding of Australian plants' at Kawarra Gardens, Kalorama in Victoria. It was a seminar for professional landscapers, architects, local government employees, the nursery and floriculture industries and the native plant enthusiasts. The daisy display set up by Judy Barker was a drawcard and was admired by the participants, agog at the variety in the Asteraceae family. Thank you, Judy, for your continuing selfless support to the Group, and especially for three long treks up the mountain. Bev Courtney demonstrated the propagation of daisies and drew a large, appreciative audience as her considerable skills in this field are widely recognised.
