A simple plan for the day. Need to go to shops for a few things. Drive to North Nowra for an orchid walk and then shops in Nowra
First flower up at the car park gives a theme - yellow
Lots of white kunzea all the way
Location shot - walking in the footsteps of the person I learned orchid spotting from. This was his backyard
Yellow growing in the mowed edges
Edges have been mowed since my last visit - not good for the orchid spikes I saw then
Back to yellow
More yellow
Purple fan flower
Did find one cluster of seeded sun orchids - saw the buds a few weeks back
Slender rice flower
Hibbertia adds to the yellow
Red-tailed black cockatoos up high
Milkwort
Leptospermum squarrosum
Spider dinner time
Double milkwort flower
My mentor would be happy to see grass growing under the powerlines in orchid growing time - not been mowed
First of the purple fringed lilies
Late opening patersonia iris
Was hoping to find donkey orchids down this way - got hyacinth orchids instead - new spot
Closer in
Bud forming well. Maybe dipodium punctatum
Loofah flower - my name
Came out a path not normally walked - found this snake orchid up high well off the track
Angling around to get a bit more light
Then found the AE lock to brighten things up a bit
A different plant - example - gloomy
Brightened up
Lambertia formosa
This is the snake orchid in the spot I know
Zooming in
And more - cymbidium suave
Found a waratah flower closing up
Bottlebrush close to the road
Stopped on the corner to check site of donkey orchids seen last year - three seeded plants
Did the shopping. Drove home. Had lunch. Decided I needed to do a ride for Kids Cancer
Paper daisy found on the south beach access road
Last of the dyanella
Violet for my granddaughter Violette
Budding hyacinth orchid - dipod variegatum
Caterpillars chomped a few
Target orchid has flowered and seeded - potato orchid. Missed by a few days
Twining glycine
Budding orchid under the no dogs sign
One more seeded potato orchid - new spot
Looking North to Gerroa
And south to Crookhaven Heads
More caterpillar action on the orchids - snipped this one off
Got the ride in for Kids Cancer
Did cook dinner - BBQ
