Broad, prickly yellow leaves, some turning brown, projecting from a central, very prickly stalk.
End of the season for Devil's Club. I hope to salvage a few more this year. They transplant very readily and go on to generate some berries for the birds. #pnw #nativeflora

Friday flowers.
Enjoy some spring colour from the AW region – mulla mulla, swainsona, everlasting daisies and calandrinia. These beauties are all at risk from buffel grass, which can transform entire ecosystems. That’s why we advocate for a national strategy to battle buffel.
