Bill Barker The Dillwynia (below left) is a plant which has been on the property since we bought it, it was never planted. The large mint bush ( Prostanthera ovalifolia) (pictured middle & right ) was planted when we arrived before the house was built - about 15 years ago. We had to water it for a few years but now it has spawned a new one which has bloomed for the first time this year. Dillwynia sp.

Technical difficulties with the evening’s planned slide show provided more time than usual for us to chat and mingle ahead of the meeting. Starting around half an hour later than anticipated, Ian welcomed every one and opened with a summary of our Spring Expo (for more details see Ian Julian’s Expo Report on page 6). Prostanthera ovalifolia In brief: 5 native plant growers, the Kilmore Art Society, APS Victoria Book Image: Gary Van Arkidie Sales, Kilmore Mitre 10 and Birdlife Australia participated as stall holders on the day. The $500 Community Grant from Bendigo Bank covered hall hire and advertising costs for the Expo. 203 visitors came through the door which was a marked increase on last year’s visitor numbers. Janet Hand from Birdlife Australia emailed in some feedback saying it is very obvious to her that the people in our area are very interested in their birds and gardens. “They are happy to stop and chat as opposed to Melbourne people who put their heads down and walk past thinking I am trying to flog something”. Janet was thinking of retiring from coming along to our Expo in the future but in light of such interesting conversations on the day this year, may well reconsider. Mike Williams also emailed providing a list of all the named specimens we had on display (list follows at the end of this report). Other feed back we received from various people was that the layout was more open and eye catching this year and it was suggested from one of the growers that we run a Q & A “Ask and Expert” session at future Expos. L-R: Pimelea humilis, Dillwynia sericea With the computer slide show glitches mostly worked out, the rest of the & Dillwynia cinerascens Image: Gary Van Arkidie evening was given over to viewing images from the Expo floral displays. The images were courtesy of Gary Van Arkidie who generously provided photographic services at the Expo and along with Gary we have Norbert Ryan to thank for organising Gary’s participation. 2017 Expo plant list: Acacia acinacea Acacia aculeatissima Acacia binervia Above: Epacris impressa pink form Images: Gary Van Arkidie Acacia cognata Lime Magik Below: Ricinocarpos pinifolius Acacia crassa Acacia denticulosa Acacia glaucoptera Acacia verticillata Alyogyne huegelii Banksia baueri Banksia blechnifolia (Continued on page 4) APS MITCHELL NEWSLETTER November 2017 Page 4 October Meeting Report continued… (Continued from page 3) Eremophila maculata Eremophila maculata x Banksia integrifolia alternifolia Banksia spinulosa Eremophila microtheca Eremophila nivea x Boronia Purple Jared christophori Bossiaea cinerea Eremophila pantonii Bossiaea linophylla Eremophila psilocalyx Bulbine bulbosa Eremophila rugosa Calytrix tetragona Eremophila succinea Carpobrotus modestus Eutaxia epacridoides Chamelaucium axillare Eutaxia obovata Chamelaucium uncinatum Grevillea acanthifolia ssp Chamelaucium uncinatum - stenomera white variant Grevillea alpina Above: Chorizema cordatum Above: Acacia denticulosa Grevillea alpina Warby Correa reflexa var. speciosa Big Bob Chrysocephalum apiculatum Below: L: Banksia spinulosa Range Below: Acacia verticiliata R: Dryandra formosa Chrysocephalum Grevillea anethifolia Images: Gary Van Arkidie semipapposum Background: Telopea Shady Lady Images: Gary Van Arkidie Grevillea aquifolium Correa Ashley Grevillea Apricot Tingle Correa Jetty Red Grevillea arenaria Correa reflexa subsp angustifolia Grevillea armigera Correa reflexa Belka road Grevillea asteriscosa Grevillea Austraflora Correa reflexa Bemm River Canterbury Gold Correa reflexa Point Hicks Grevillea baueri Correa reflexa var. scabridula Grevillea beardiana Correa reflexa var. speciosa Grevillea Billy Bonkers Big Bob Grevillea bipinnatifida Craspedia variabilis Grevillea bipinnatifida Darwinia macrostegia Chittering Valley Grevillea bipinnatifida Jingle Dillwynia cinerascens Bells Dillwynia sericea Grevillea Bonfire Diplolaena grandiflora Grevillea bronwenae Dodonaea subglandifera Grevillea Bronze Rambler Dryandra formosa Grevillea Burung Beauty Dryandra polycephala Grevillea buxifolia Epacris impressa red Grevillea calliantha Epacris impressa white Grevillea Carpet Layer

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.
