Saffron Thistle in abundance after good spring rain on Urambi Hills – not previously as abundant.

Look's like a mixture of Saffron thistle, St John's wort and possibly Paterson's curse? Lovely floral display?

Hard to find any native plants when the weeds are like this. Sadly a common problem in ACT reserves.
