Head is not in a good space. A bit slow to get moving today to do the bike - train - walk trip. Forecast for next few days is rubbish. Best get moving anyway that works - walk down to Blackbutt Creek
Spring friesias on the way down the hill
This fruit tree is showing resilience - two spikes out of the stump producing flowers
This is the same kookaburra seen last week. On the ground today - was happy for me to walk around the side to get photo of the blue flashes on the wings - 3 feet confident
NSW coral heath flower
Hakea track photo
Mission one accomplished - new opener on a cluster of chiloglottis trapeziformis
2nd opener in a cluster of 5 plants
Found a new spot for mayfly orchids - this one ending
Sundew flower - drosera
Pea flower twins
Sun orchids twins on a mossy rock
Mayfly orchid - acianthus caudatus - close up. Did find a new plant here - one of three
Now for the common ant orchid photo challenge - focus up front
Or up behind - with small targets and coming in close it becomes a choice
Chiloglottis formicifera
Two chiloglottis orchids budding - ruffled leaf edges have me guessing
Found a nice cluster flowing down over the track edge toward the creek - also common ant orchids
Count the flowers - 5 showing - there were more
Close up - chiloglottis formicifera - note how the calli flow down the labellum. Note taken?
Hypericum flower
Upside down flower - did require photographer to step below the track to take photo from down below
A long way along the track to find these chiloglottis orchids - they look different. Calli do not splay all the way down the labellum like they would on formicifera
The helmet and the labellum are not in that tight parallel formation we see on trapeziformis
And the calli so look like a Brazillian - maybe a hybrid
Two new buds emerging - maybe bearded orchids
Walked through the golf club to enquire about membership. Looks like we will be living here a lot longer than I hoped. Might as well slide into local living - got to find 2 members to sponsor me. I know nobody
Did work out why there have been no replies to last two messages to my daughter - she has gone to Italy for a wedding and to hike with her mum. Never knew she was a hiker
Back to Italy - macaroni cheese for dinner - nailed some remnant cheese
