Wildflowers to grow in your garden Here is the key to the list Trees Ground covers Shrubs Eucalypts Banksias Myrtle family Banksias Others Baeckea Other Beaufortia Calothamnus Chamelaucium Hypocalymna Kunzea Melaleuca and Callistemon Scholtzia Thryptomene Verticordia Large trees. Think very carefully before you plant them! Large trees, such as lemon scented gums or spotted gums may look great in parks - at least local councils seem to think so (we would rather see local plants). But you may regret planting them in a modern small garden. That doesn't mean there is no room for trees. There are hundreds of attractive small trees that grow very well in native gardens. Here are just a few. Small trees Eucalypts with showy flowers. Eucalytpus caesia Comes in two sub species with the one known as "silver princess" being readily available in Perth. Lovely multi- stemmed weeping tree with pendulous pink flowers and silver-bell fruits. E. torquata Small upright tree with attractive pink flowers. Very drought resistant. E. ficifolia Often called the WA Flowering gum. Ranges in size from small to quite large and in flower colour from deep red to = Corymbia ficifolia orange to pale pink. In WA subject to a serious disease - called canker. Many trees succumb when about 10 or so years old, either dying or becoming very unhealthy. E. preissiana Bell fruited mallee. Small tree (or shrub) with bright yellow flowers. E. erythrocorys Illyarrie, red cap gum or helmet nut gum. Large golden flowers in February preceded by a bright red bud cap. Tree tends to be bit floppy and to need pruning.

Abstract Xero- and scleromorphic adaptations are obviously shown by Australian plants, in response to the Australian climate and edaphic factors. Since these adaptations overlap, there are problems separating the two. Some qualitative hypotheses about the distinction between xero- and scleromorphic characters have been proposed. This research is an effort to quantitatively determine xeromorphic characters in some members of the Proteaceae, in order to elaborate upon some of the existing hypotheses about these characters. Twenty three species of Banksia, 16 species of Grevillea and 6 species of Orites were sectioned and observed under the light micrscope and measurements were made of the stomata! depressions, margin recurvations, cuticle thickness and hair dimensions.

Going to Sustainable
GOING TO SUSTAINABLE Lowering Landscape and Garden Maintenance Including Better Ways to Water and How to Save Water © Joseph L. Seals, 2008, 2009 Copyright Joseph L. Seals, 2008, 2009 LOWERING MAINTENANCE REDUCING MAINTENANCE IN THE PLANNING STAGES Unfortunately, maintenance of the landscape is often assumed or overlooked during the planning and design phase of a project 1) Keep the planting design simple. The more elaborate the plan and planting -- Numbers of plants, variety of plants, -- less than simple lines and shapes -- … the more maintenance is required. For instance, lawn areas need to be plotted so that mowing, edging and periodic maintenance can be accomplished easily. -- Avoid tight angles and sharp corners. -- wide angles, gentle, sweeping curves, and straight lines are much easier to mow. -- Make certain each plant in the plan serves a purpose. 2) Select the right plant for the right place We all know that there are “sun plants” for sunny spots and “shade plants” for shady spots. And we don’t plant “sun plants” in shade nor do we plant “shade plants” in sun. And some of us know that there are drought-tolerant plants that like dry soil and little water -- and there are moisture-loving plants that like their feet wet. And we don’t mix those up either. Such “mix ups” result in everything from the obvious: outright death of the plant involved to a subtly stressed plant that shows various symptoms of “disease” -- whether it’s an actual organism or a physiological condition. Copyright Joseph L. Seals, 2008, 2009 Every time you push a plant beyond its natural adaptations, abilities, and tolerances, you invite problems and you invite higher maintenance When choosing the right plant, start with THE BIG PICTURE: We have a Mediterranean climate.

Assessing Temperature Thresholds for Germination Final Report
Assessing temperature thresholds for germination Project 04SC1-13h Banksia caleyi inflorescence Final Report Prepared by Anne Cochrane and Susanne Schreck Threatened Flora Seed Centre Department of Environment and Conservation 120 Albany Highway Albany, Western Australia 6330 Project Summary Seed germination is a plant trait that can determine colonisation ability for species that rely on seeds for post-disturbance regeneration. It is a high risk phase in a plant’s life cycle and vulnerable to shifts in environmental parameters. Abrupt changes in temperature associated with a changing climate may limit recruitment of obligate seeding species and render them vulnerable to decline and extinction. Using a Grant GRD1 Temperature Gradient Plate purchased for the Project by the South Coast Natural Resource Management Inc. through Australian Government funding we assessed temperature constraints on germination for 22 endemic and mainly obligate seeding Banksia species (Proteaceae) predominantly restricted to the South Coast Region. Forty-nine temperature combinations between 5 and 40 oC allowed us to accurately profile temperature requirements for successful germination. Contour plots were created that highlight species response to optimal and sub-optimal germination temperatures for germination. Mean time to germination was calculated for all temperature combinations where germination was recorded. Our results indicate that many Banksia species confined to the southern coastal areas of Western Australia have a wide physiological tolerance for high fluctuating temperatures during germination, although average temperatures for optimum germination (mean of high and low temperature fluctuations) for all species fall between 10 and 19 oC. A number of common, but geographically restricted species, such as B. praemorsa, B.

Alex felt that a comprehensive reworking and new title were preferable to a fourth edition of The Banksia Book . Simultaneously, Ivan Holliday and Geoff Watton are in the latter stages of getting a third edition of their book on Banksias published sometime this year. I am very sorry about the delay, but don’t worry – you all will get two newsletters this financial year. As usual, life events seem to crop up with monotonous regularity and I waited until my return from Western Australia in December before getting this issue together. Then I had the good luck to track down a contributor on the current status of the Ironcap Banksia, Wendy Johnston of the CALM office in Merredin.
