User's notes

I think this is the species but never 100% sure on the heath plants. Patersonia sericea, commonly known as the purple flag, native iris.

Charles, I'd prefer to leave this one to Nick. There is a defining identity within the leaf structure and that is hard to see in a picture. I think has some work to do when he gets back.

The flowers of the 4 species all look much the same - have to see leaves/plant form to make an ID.
