Thought it was a good time to take a day off. Caught a train up two stations to see if there were any lady fingers orchids. Friends have seen them up the coast

alt

Context photo - past the oldest scout troop in Sydney - over 100 years

alt

Pixie caps orchids - last days

alt

Front on - acianthus fornicatus

alt

Hypericum - large in yellow

alt

Silver top mushroom

alt

Silver tip shaping out

alt

Hibbertia - maybe

alt

A bit more of a mushroom day - red

alt

Chiloglottis leaves - do not recall seeing these here

alt

A few more. Wrinkled edges to leaves are different

alt

Mushrooms and orchid leaves

alt

One more pixie caps orchid

alt

White edged mushroom

alt

Promise of a greenhood

alt

Did find one bootlace orchid growing tall. Last season there were 3 plants on the same tree

alt

Budding form - 3 metres above the ground

alt

Steps up. One of the remnant Sydney High Blue Gum Forest segments. Just up on the right were some nodding greenhoods. Not seen them here before. I checked

alt

Nodding greenhood - pterostylis nutans

alt

A different angle on a different plant - great labellum shot

alt

A little mushroom action

alt

Silver top mushroom

alt

Violet pea flower - the only one seen

alt

Sidewalk oxalis for a change to suburb flowers.

alt

Two magnolia shots of old style Pymble houses. This one for sale

alt

A quite different style - maybe Edwardian - with turrets

Was a bigger walk than I had in mind after a big pickleball session. Did choose to loop back to Turramurra where I got off the train. Fewer steps that way.

Did cook dinner. Turned day before bolognese into cottage pie
