Nasty thing to have on a nature strip. Here is what the burr looks like. https://vicflora.rbg.vic.gov.au/flora/taxon/dae3606b-41a4-477f-b833-17c85687c48d#&gid=1&pid=1

Probably not. They are bative plants. I am not sure what the kegislation is.

thought we should probably leave them as they are native plants, thanks.

Calotis anthemoides is one of our rare plants so definitely should be left. Very unusual to see it in such a location.

Must be a tough little plant to grow there with the conditions we have had lately as it is near a road on the nature strip and does not get looked after. Has a cute flower though. It will definitely be left alone.
Thanks for your help and advice.
