This post is to record the occurrence of the native raspberry species -
Rubus moluccanus var trilobus or Broad-leaf bramble in the Mt Petrie Bushland Reserve. It was seen in two separate areas - I had noticed it before but had mistaken it for the introduced Blackberry.
Unfortunately there was no fruit to sample!
We have the Rubus parvifolius which does well on our property so this might be worth trying as well although it looks like it needs moisture and well drained condition.
Another plant spotted that was in flower was a Banksia sp (?spinulosa) :
I might try growing Banksia sp again, by being more careful where I plant them,
to allow for better drainage during wet weather
