Another native grass that seems to be doing well is :
Barbed Wire Grass or Cymbopogon refractus
The name is quite appropriate as you can see from the structure of the seed stalk. However it is not prickly and doesn't seem to catch onto clothing noticeably.
The paper bags around some stalks are to collect ripe seed for further propagation.
The original 3 plants were purchased from Indigiscapes at Capalaba. On the first Saturday of the month they have native plants of the Redlands area for sale at very reasonable prices.
Also here is a very colourful fungus that was evident in the lawn this morning - we have been having regular rain and there are lots of fungi popping up.
No ID at this stage
