Another late night and a slow start. Got some focus to get the weekly investing post finished and published. The week has been disrupted a lot - time to focus
Got out on the bike after lunch to ride up to Beach Road end of Seven Mile Beach NP. Stopped on the way to explore a side track not in the park. First paper daisy of the season not far from bike park
Found a cluster of orchids in a slice not walked before - greenhoods of some sort
End of the days for the nodding greenhood but a new orchid is a new find
Hardenbergia pea flower
Twining glycine rounds off a nice side trip
Walked the north side of the sand track first - found the maroonhoods earlier than seen before. Looks like pterostylis erecta - to be checked
Front on
There were a few other greenhoods here too. Photos did not come out right. Cyclist came past - tells me the diamond python hangs out under the log behind. Made me a bit edgy. Front on photo would indicate this is rainforest greenhood - pterostylis hildae. Did take photos of the labellum through the hole behind - labellum is twisted - maybe curta
Always a native violet
Found another colony of maroonhoods - the helmet is a bit shorter - maybe pterostlyis oblonga
A view from behind
Front on
Did find a fully flowering pterostylis nutans
Blunt-tipped greenhood in a known patch
This is a special slice of winter walking - more nodding greenhoods. I never tire of taking photos
More blunt-tipped greenhoods further along
Cluster of three
A bit of fun with this photo - focus on orchid took a little work as camera wanted to see the lichen
Did pop across to south side to check on a few spots
This one is the test - the labellum has the twist but the stripe is red
This labellum is straight and the stripe is red - rainforest greenhood. The few plants are together - suggests some hybrid action happening
Side on photo - going to stuck with pterostylis hildae
Did find a few maroonhoods - the elongated helmet of this one
Front on view
Nodding greenhood - pterostylis nutans
Have learned to stop and look at each flower to look for differences - spider on this one. Took some time to get a decent photo
Next one was harder work. Each time I got close the spider moved around behind the spike. Of note it has caught a pollinator insect.
Was a good ride - body went better than the day before. Did help the wind was less and tailwind for the ride back
Message from my wife when I got home. Could I walk her friend's dog - dog walker has a sore leg. Got the extra steps doing that. Dog loved the change of routine. Dropped the dog off and chose to have a quiet evening at home - did use the quiet to finish bonus page I am working on for a product launch
