Early in a Late, Cool Summer – 1 Dec 2012

We took few photos, because we were busy, and it was hot, and the forbs in bloom were almost all well-known to us, and appeared to present at the usual time of year, in the usual places.

They included: Brachycome rigidula, Chrysocephalum apiculatum, Chrysocephalum semipapposum, Convolvulus angustissimus, Craspedia variabilis, Gompholobium minus, Goodenia hederacea, Helichrysum rutdolepsis, Hibbertia obtusifolia, Hypericum gramineum, Hypoxis hygrometrica, Laxmannia gracilis, Pimelea curviflora, Pultenaea subspicata (fading), Ranunculus lappaceus, Stylidium graminifolium (at peak), Veronica sp. A, Viola betonicifolia, Wahlenbergia gracilis

They did not include: Thysanotus tuberosus (come and gone already? too moist?), Leucopogon virgatus (finished)

Mid-Autumn – 13 April 2013

Few photos (too busy killing blackberries, and chatting with visitors – Helen, John and Jen Austin).

Flowering species were in evidence but relatively few. The most seen were Brachycome rigidula. Also Chrysocephalum apiculatum, Haloragis heterophylla (one), Helichrysum rutidolepsis (patch re-discovered), Galium gaudichaudii, Hibbertia obtusifolia, Hypericum gramineum, Pultenaea subspicata (some early flowers), Tricoryne elatior, Wahlenbergia sp.

Craspedia variabilis
Diuris chryseopsis
?Drosera peltata (It was in flower at Nerriga the previous day, but was it at Bunhybee?)

Early Summer – 9 November 2013

A very retarded, or maybe suppressed, early summer, following a couple of months of high, wind-driven evaporation. The grass was very dry, with almost no water visible in any waterlines. The flowers were the poorest November crop of any year 2008-13. Even the Pultenea subspicata, normally prolific at this time of year, was burnt off.

[Gilston showed J 96 F 145 M 34 A 63 M 20 J 130 J 31 A 15 S 124 O 10 = 670mm in 10 mths cf. 625mm long-term average (LTA). Jul-Oct total of 180mm cf. 208mm LTA. The average maximum for Oct was 20.5 cf. 19.3, and for the 8 days of Nov 25.3 cf. 21.7. That suggests that the wind must have been quite something recently.]

We saw the following in flower:

• Ajuga australis
• Asperula conferta
• Brachycome rigidula
• Calotis glandulosa
• Chrysocephalum apiculatum
• Convolvulus angustissimus - immature
• Gompholobium minus (Yellow Pea)
• Goodenia hederacea
• Hibbertia obtusifolia
• Hypericum gramineum
• Leptorhynchos squamatus
• Leucopogon virgatus ­ Common beard heath
• Linum marginale Native Flax ...
• Luzula densiflora ­ A Woodrush
• Pimelia glauca
• Poranthera microphylla
• Pultenaea subspicata [far less than other years, mostly wind-burnt, except under cover]
• Ranunculus lappaceus
• Scleranthus biflorus
• Stylidium graminifolium ­ Trigger Plant [but only a couple, rather than scores]
• Taraxacum officinale Dandelion (Intro'd) [but the fewest we've ever seen]
• Tricoryne elatior ­ Yellow Rush-lily [but very few]
• Triptilodiscus pygmaeus
• Utricularia dichotoma ­ Fairy Aprons [just a couple, in the dry bed of the sthn waterline]
• Veronica gracilis ­ Graceful Speedwell
• Wahlenbergia prob. multicaulis

And the following, not in flower:

• Bossiaea prostrata
• Cheilanthes austrotenuifolia? Resurrection Fern
• Gamochaeta Cudweed (Intro'd)
• Hydrocotyle laxiflora aka Stinking Pennywort
• Iseotopsis graminifolia [mainly seen on broken ground in a sneak visit to Parlour]
• Senecio quadridentatus
• Stackhousia monogyna Creamy Candles
• Vittadinia muelleri

Early Autumn – 19 March 2014

The ponds were full but more generally the moisture had mostly evaporated. Nov brought heavy rain, but Dec-Jan-Feb were 40% of average rainfall. So presumably there was good rain in the first week of March.

Early Spring – 3 October 2015

The start of spring was delayed considerably, due to the cool mornings lasting a month longer than usual. This was the first real heat, with three 28-30 degree days over the long weekend. The ground was dry, presumably due to persistent winds (very strong indeed on Saturday night). The water table was high, the dam still fairly full.

Species seen in the North and Centre blocks – 32, of which only these 17 were in flower:
Ajuga australis, Bossiaea prostrata, Brachycome rigidula, Craspedia variabilis, Diuris chryseopsis (seen in Wombat Gully), Drosera peltata, Glycine clandestina, Hardenbergia violacea, Hibbertia obtusifolia, Hovea linearis, Leptorhynchos squamatus, Leucopogon virgatus, Pimelea glauca, a Ranunculus, Tetratheca bauerii, Triptilodiscus pygmaeus and Viola betonicifolia

Late in a warm, wet Summer – 7 February 2016

Flowering specimens of a few summer species were still visible, e.g. Brachyscomes, Goodenia, Hypericum, Hypoxis and Veronica, and of course Petrorhagia nanteuilii (Proliferous Pink) and Dandelions.

Spiranthes australis ...	... in small numbers ...	... in the trickling streams below both sides of the dam

Early Autumn – 28 March 2016

Flowering, although of course in decline, were Brach rigi (lots), Bulb bulb (see below), Chrys apic, Good heda (or heda ssp. alpe), Hibb obtu (which is supposed to be spring to summer flowering), Hype gram, a Ranunculus.

A surprise discovery at the very bottom of the southern waterline, in deep Poa lab, was a small cluster of Bulbine bulbosa, previously only seen in Gate Gully near the junction with Hidden Arm, and on drier ground.

Very Early Spring – 8 October 2016

The winter had hung around for a long time, bringing a great deal of rain to the west of the Divide, but less to Bunhybee. The day was cool (11 degrees), and the low cloud had a shimmer of English drizzle beneath it until after lunch. The spring seemed to us to be greatly retarded, well behind Canberra. On checking against previous years, it was less clearly behind 2008 and 2012 than we'd expected, but definitely later than 2015.

The flowers we saw in bloom in the south and central blocks were (only): Aspe conf, Crasp vari, Crass (which?), Cryp (which?), Dros pelt, Hove Line, Leuc virg, Pime glau (in bud only), Plan hisp, Pora micr, Stac mono, Viol beto, Wurm dioc.

Early Spring – 15 October 2016

The season had finally got moving, a mere week later. The dams and waterlines were still full, but barely running, the various springs were easing off, and the ground in the lesser waterlines was moist rather than wet.

The flowers we saw in bloom in the northern block were (only): Asper conf, Boss prostr, Chrys apic (very early), Crasp vari, Dros pelt, Lepto squam (very early flower), Leuc virg, Oxal peran, Pora micro, Pult sub (beginning), Ranunc sp., Trip pygm

Buds or new growth: Gono sp., Halo heter, Hyper gram, Micr unif, Oper hisp (among the Kunzea), Prat puber, Solen gunn, Thel sp.

Spring – 9 November 2016

A little drizzly early, ground dry, waterlines moist but the water mostly gone, thanks to winds. The wind-direction kept swinging from SE to NW all day long.

It didn't seem all that floriferous for the time of year, until we counted the species at the end of the day (27, plus 2 shrubs and 3 native grasses):

Acae ovina, Aspe conf, Brach decip, Chry apic, Conv angu, Crasp vari, Crass sieb, Dian revo (bud), Dros pelt, Gomph minus, Hibb obtu, Hype gram, Hypo hygro, Lepto squam, Leuc virg, Pime glauc, Prat pube, Pult subs, Ranun sp., Steg mosch, Styl gram, Trip pygm, Vero grac, Viol beta, Viol hede, Vitt mull, Wahl (grac?)

Early Summer – 11 November 2017

The last year has been remarkably dry, with a 12mth moving average of 499mm cf. 768mm = 65%.
The first 10 mths of calendar 2017 delivered only 363mm cf. 701mm = 52%!
And for June-Oct (5mths), the total has been 88mm cf. 266mm = 33%!!
(All figures are from David and Janette O'Connell, 2.5km SW from Echidna Ridge at Gilston.

The only flowers seen were Brach rigi (moderate numbers), Good heda (one), Hype gram (a few), Hypo hygro (one), Wahl ?stricta (a few), Wahl ?small (a few)

Late Summer – 19 April 2018

Linda planted three more Calotis glandulosa that she'd grown from seed collected from Long Flat Rd, west of Cooma. These were planted close to Picnic rocks (on the south-western promontory of Echidna Ridge), one on the N-W side, and 2 on the S-E side, and as close to the rocks as could planted with reasonable soil depth.

Very Early Spring – 15 September 2018

Very dry. Very restrained Melychrism and a lone virgatus and Hovea.

Early Summer – 1 December 2018

Even after 40mm early in the week, still very dry.

Plus Hypochaeris of course.

Calo gland #2, east end, had seed heads, as did one of the Apr 17 plantings nearby. Epac micro

Early Summer – 19 October 2019

Although a few storms had come through in the previous couple of weeks, it was very dry, with the main dam low, the small dam okay (thanks to lost of rushes slowing down evaporation), waterlines basically empty. All the Pter escu in NE corner was dead, or at least extremely dry and brown

In flower were 22 species, but none proliferous, not even the L. virgatus: Ajug aust, Aspe conf, Boss prost, Brach decip, Chrys apic, Conv angus, Cras vari, Cymb laws, Diur chrys, Gomph minus, Good hede, Hovea lin (seed), Hyper gram, Hypo glab, Leptorhynchos squam, Leuc virg, Oxal pere (yellow), Pime glau, Pult sub, Ranun sp., Stack mono, Thely sp.

Early Summer – 8-9 November 2019

The whole area was very dry, and a 35kph wind was blowing and 1℃ overnight).
The Shoalhaven was deep puddles, but not flowing. The only water we saw on Bunhybee
was in the two topmost pools in the southern waterline, north and south arms.

The forbs in flower were (28): Brachy rigi, Chrys apic, Chryso semip (bud), Conv angus, Crasp variab, Gali gaudi, Gomph minus, Good hede, Hypox hygro, Leptor Squam, Leucop virg (less than other years), Linum Marg (bud), Micro unif, Pimel glauc, Plant ?varia, Poly japo, Pora micro, Pratia pube, Pult subsp (orange prolifically, 1 yellow, no pink), Ranunc sp., Sene quad (1), Styl gram (few), Tarax offic, Thysa tuber (1), Tripto pygm, Vero grac, Wahl ?comm (large), Wahl ?graci (small)
