These purple-stemmed seedlings develop annually in late winter and early Spring, while Watsonia meriana are still emerging. They have been pulled out each year so I don't know what they are. A couple of isolated Gladiolus have been observed nearby (and uprooted), and Bulbil Watsonia is still abundant after 6 years of annual manual suppression, now only as fewer - but still many - much smaller leaves emerging annually

New leaves being pulled annually as they emerge. Many of these in the foreground are seedlings with reddish stem bases and a narrow, pointed leaf.

under young rawirinui and dying manuka. Rawirinui dominant from right (North) into older podocarp/rawirinui regen forest; aging and dead manuka dominant, with rawirinui common and in places emergent, from left for c.20m to edge of forest, where there is a large expanse of mown exotic grasses.

Watsonia meriana abundant throughout from here to the left thrugh the extent of the manuka ie about 150m, and being suppressed by pulling leaves off annually as they emerge

after annual pulling of leaves over more of this forest margin floor each year since June 2018, the leaves are smaller each year. More native seedlings are seen each year in ground which was previously densely packed with Watsonia leaf bases, but eh seedlings would be expected to increase anyway as young rawirinui break the old previously dense manuka canopy
