I found this growing wild in a swan plant pot but it is definitely not a swan plant

High Lake levels over past two years have receded leaving behind the perfect clean mud surface for sneezeweed to colonise.

Plants growing outside DOC’s fenced off area to protect from pigs. Many plants observed in our NELSON Forests area close to fence where we are playing an active role to eradicate gorse, broom, blackberry and Spanish heath to allow the regenerating natives to flourish. Picture is of an Olearia polita ( small leaved tree daisy) to left with a small leaved coprosma to right. Site is Blair Athol gully. Present were 2 DOC staff and 3 from NFL

As suggested by @pjd1 I have done this posting for the Hominid arrayed in poroporo-coloured plumage.
I would have used Homo sapien but I defer to your expertise and have used Hominid - a word I did not know until now.
Often spotted by Pseudopanax crassifolius × P. lessonii which must be the favourite.
Not too sure if that leaf is a mirror leaf.
Seen running around then down into the pohutukawa crater.

Small dense tufts in mixed native/exotic grassland; just starting to flower. Growing on rocky ground amongst Vulpia bromoides, Bromus hordaceaus & Sedum acre. Seems to be uncommon but early in the season. 20 yrs since first collected at this site by Hugh Wilson. This grass is now considered to be R. carphoides.

A small wallaby grass with short awns.
See https://vicflora.rbg.vic.gov.au/flora/taxon/07551263-73c2-41d2-9a7e-686c59432da8 and https://keys.landcareresearch.co.nz/nzgrasses/key/nzgrass/Media/Images/Rytidosperma-geniculatum02.jpg
Hard to quatify its presence as there are a number of somewhat similar rytidosperma sps. present in the area.

The plums in the city gardens have just started to ripen up, and I'm seeing kererū more often in the neighbourhood. Coincidence? I don't think so.

Almost certain this is correct identification but ideally needs a voucher specimen collected as this is a species not recorded from Banks Peninsula before.
