We have a sunny day. Went on a dual mission - check orchids and do the shopping. Getting it into my head to get back to Covid times. Shop in one place close to an orchid spot and get two types of supermarket in one place
Walking the Terrey Hills side of Ku-ring Gai Chase NP - hakea flowering over the track
Mayfly orchid flowering in a new spot - surprising - walked past this at least 3 times a season every year for over 10 years
Late flowering small nodding greenhood - pterostylis hispidula
Matching rosette
Right on the edge of the track - bunochilus longifolius - tall greenhood. First up for the season. Was sure I would find them off track but did not have to go there
Side on
Two flowers in frame
Kept walking the track hoping to find cobra greenhoods seen last year. Did spy this spike with buds - leek orchid
Close up of the buds. Not the best focus but enough to confirm prasophyllum brevilabre. Was not expecting that
Did not have to go far to find one flowering - luck pays - short lipped leek orchid
Close up frills
Double flower shot
Sydney boronia - seems early
Pink spider grevillea
Wattle flower also a bit early
Mud wasp nests vacated
Did walk off track - found a lot of bunochilus orchids in new places
Front on - first few photos were a bit confusing for ID - these are more clear - hairs on the labellum
Heaps of acianthus leaves
Greenhood rosette and acianthus leaf
One more bunochilus flowering - good to find them a bit more widely spread than previous years
Next orchid up - corybas aconitiflorus at end of cycle
One a bit younger - spurred helmet orchid - a known spot
A few mushroom and orchid leaf shots - acianthus orchid
And again - same pairing
Paired with a chiloglottis orchid leaf
Furry mushroom form
Next orchid flower up - pixie caps orchid closing up shop
Good walk with 6 orchids flowering and two new for the season. Did the shopping after
Cooked a different dinner - chicken, leek, mushroom, white wine, sour cream, fresh thyme, chicken stock. Was tasty
