new location!
we haven't planted Cullen; sympatric occurrence of the 2 species C. tenax and C. microcephalum at this location which has one of the richest native herb diversity on Mt Majura. Unfortunately surrounded by introduced species. I tried to keep St Johns Wort under control at this patch (handweeding) and surrounds, but it is getting too much for 1 person. Each year since 10 years I asked the land manager for help...
I tried to turn the images (edit) but didn't succeed... can you help?

reg the stated herb diversity see pic in our newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/3b44bc916a40/fomm-newsletter-january-2022?e=cd0b695694
reg timeline: the photographed Cullen tenax are separate specimens which grow relatively close together perhaps below the accuracy of GPS.
