Small clump in Pearl Gibbs Park in Bonner. Appears to be only Love Grass in area probably spread by mower, would be good to control

I know of a lot of African lovegrass, both this tall form and the short form more common on median strips and nature strips. It doesn't photograph well so I haven't recorded much on Canberra Nature Map. Te Catchment Groups mapping of a few years ago showed some of the problem. It's time to stop cutting the weeds budget.
