One of those mornings that just drifted by. The sun was up. Put the new wheel on the bike. Decided to ride a short distance to walk a track to the creek to check for chiloglottis orchids
Walked the grassy fire trail. First up Rupp's midge orchid
Corunastylis ruppii
Next midge orchid is fringed - corunastylis fimbriata
No idea what these spiky flowers are but the ants know - head up
Ass down
These mini greviliea flowers are amazing
Columned too
A spent corunastylis fimbriata. Dropped down to the rain forest
Found the chiloglottis flowering
ID is a challenge Calli not quite going to point of labellum suggests seminuda and not curviclava. I am baffled
Found a few getting to open. Side on supports seminuda. English name is turtle orchid - the shape is there
This one is more clear. The fab part is these are all new openers in a patch I found during lockdown.
BIG orchid spotting lesson. Keep coming back
Cowan Creek
Another turtle orchid opener
Just fab front on. Every one is subtly different
Reflections on the creek of a blue sky
One more orchid on the way back.
Did find a bonnet orchid open on the way back up from the creek. It is the season. This is the last but flowering up the spike = season is ending
Golden skink hiding its head in pose mode, sort of
Twins
The end of the midge orchids in the sunny parts of the track. Nice walk yields done new orchids and 4 types in flower in total
Short ride to test out new wheel. Need to change the chain to get the best out of the new cassette
Dinner: Duck breast prepped in sous vide
Seared skin side down after 60 minutes sous vide at 135F
Rest for 10 minutes and finish off twice cooked potatoes
Fab meal for under $10 - served with two side ls of fresh vegetables
Trade action: Closed out TSLA shorts. Bought AMN, OGZD.IL.
