Native heath and a few other things

As the weather has warmed up (and country people will know that a wether never gets warmed up) we have got a lot of heathy blossom appearing.  This post includes some photos of heaths and other flowers (and concludes with other evidence of reproduction) from our middle paddock.
Lysanthe
Leucopogon virgatum
Leucopogon fletcheri = flowers hang down
The next image is the first "pea' to appear in the block.  There are quite a few plants but they are generally sparse in habit.
Bossea buxifolia
The next three images are from the same paddock but are not really heathy plants.  I have included the Early Nancy (Wurmbea dioica) image to give an impression of the density of these flowers: we have many patches 20m sq at this density!

Luzula - a sedge
A male Clematis flower
As well as the flowers this paddock includes a fairly low quality dam.  However it is well supplied with frogspawn at present.
