This afternoon I found more Scrub Lupine seedlings, all of the new ones in and around the first planting area.
I also found a second plant from last year's crop whose flag had faded so much I had not noticed it earlier.
One of the seedlings appeared to have died already, which is not unusual. The test will be to see how may survive until the summer rainy season.
Meanwhile the Cogon Grass patch at the southeastern corner of the northern tract continues to spread untreated. At last check it seemed to be spreading toward the eastern fire lane rather than westward toward a small patch of Clitoria fragrans that only inhabits that part of the preserve.
Many years ago there was a small patch of Cogon Grass in that section of the fire lane. I duck it up and bagged and then brought in some Natal Grass from elsewhere in the preserve to outcompete, which it did for many years.
This is no longer a small patch and if my friends from FWC are reading this, you might want to check out the situation.
