Got a clear blue sky day - too lazy ti get the bike organised to do a bike-train-bike day. Catch the train and do the walk from there. Have two orchids I want to see

alt

A fun sign in Tour de France time - 3 kms to Bobbin Head - cycled this road a lot

alt

Sold sign uo since last time. It is a quiet location sandwiched between the railway and the highway and the National Park on the doorstep

alt

Crucifix orchid - not the mission

alt

A house for sale - advertised as 3 garages

alt

Photo captured one - the other two were left if shot. The amazing thing is there was a whole house on the left too - a big house in a quiet location. Been talking about this as a hot spot - probably right

alt

Mission objective one achieved - greenhood near the entry gate - a known spot. Found one flower open

alt

Front on shot was the best could get of the labellum - looks like it is a single point

alt

Matching rosette

alt

Angle from below - cannot see the labellum. Sticking with original ID - pterostylis nana

alt

Small leafed white heath flower - tiny.

alt

Pea flower - yellow and orange

alt

NSW coral heath flower

alt

Wattle flower time - a bit early

alt

Bug time

alt

Next in the pea flower story

alt

Lambertia formosa - feels a bit out of time

alt

Mushroom time - just a few

alt

Last of the banksia flowers

alt

A healthy colony of pterostylis acuminata - looks like a successful season

alt

Mayfly orchid in a new spot - knew to be looking closely as this is where the genoplesium baueri were found a few weeks back

alt

One budding. Had some fun getting backgrounds in place for photos

alt

Acianthus caudatus

alt

Side on

alt

Yellow pea flower close to the ground

alt

Twining glycine

alt

Mushroom staircase

alt

Sun orchid shaping up. Can just see the flower spike growing inside the sheath of the leaf

alt

That was a precursor - this is a bit further advanced and quite surprised - a bud formed

alt

Close up shows the touch of blue

alt

Hibbertia and a pollinator

alt

Front on without bugs

alt

Walked a short section of a side trail - budding acianthus orchid

alt

Budding donkey orchid

alt

One tea tree flower

alt

Heath flowers

alt

Red spider grevillea on a side path not walked before

alt

Found a closed off area - endangered plant zone

alt

Back to the cycling signs - they point to the water and not the hills

alt

Coal train action

Big walk. Cooked pasta dinner at home - too tired to walk up for Thai dinner. Will cook that tomorrow
