User's notes
This group is flourishing in an area beside cycle path that is no longer (regularly) mown - a conservation bollard marks the protection zone (see top right in my group shot). This protection started in 2022 (https://canberra.naturemapr.org/sightings/4445697) and has continued fairly reliably since then. With any luck, good seed should set this year.

Any chance of recording any insect visitors to these flowers. Stackhousia pollinators are completely data deficient.

I went yesterday afternoon and walked and watched this population. I saw not a single insect either leaving or visiting over about 10 minutes. Possibly was not the best time as cloud ranged from light to medium but it felt warm enough.

I also found the patch yesterday at about 1 pm - surprising we did not cross paths. I photographed several Lasioglossum lanarium resting in the Goodenia flowers but nothing on the Stackhousia as usual. Plan B is to observe them at night somewhere convenient.
