Exotics or Weeds

In the spirit of documenting all of the vegetation growing on the property, I am starting this list of exotic plants, or weeds, found here.

Common Centaury (Centaurium erythraea)

Large-flower Wood-sorrel (Oxalis purpurea)

Large Quaking-grass (Briza maxima)

Pimpernel (Anagallis arvensis)

Prickly Starwort (Stellaria pungent) is quite plentiful in spring, and it is just starting to flower. It seems to like growing around the base of tree trunks.
This is a special find. Growing next to Caladenia parva, and it looks as if it is probably a green/colourless Caladenia parva unless anyone else can ID it.
Our first Sun Orchid of the season. I’m thinking Wednesday might see most of them in bloom.
The beautiful, often overlooked and abundant ‘Yellow Stars’ (Hypoxis glabella) forms carpets in the grassland on warm days. This perennial native lily is one of my favourites.
Watch out for the South African weed orchids (Disa bracteata) which are starting to appear now. They spread so quickly and need to be pulled up, including the bulb, bagged, and put into the rubbish bin. We found 9 on Thursday. A friend, last year, had pulled out hundreds. They spread rapidly and need to be removed before they flower.
Common Flat-Pea (Platylobium obtusangulum) I love the leaves on this plant.
