First Waxlip Orchid of the Season : August 4 2022
It is a grey day and it is forecast to rain heavily around the middle of the day. I do need to do some shopping. Plan then is to walk a track in the National Park to recce spring orchids first and then hit the shops - I am hoping to find two new openers for the season
Spring flowers are emerging - spider grevillea
Pea flower - what will be the theme of the day?
Two tone purple pea flower
Did find one of the orchids - small waxlip orchid - just one flower
Glossodia minor - side on
Pink spider grevillea
Four petal flower - each petal is about 3 mm long
Lichen abounds
Two tone yellow pea flower
Last of the banksia flowers
Did find one sun orchid open enough to identify - spotted sun orchid
Found one more - thelymitra ixioides
A bud looks like an orchid - it is not - milk maid is the colloquial name
Deep purple pea flower
Did find a cluster of greenhood rosettes not seen before on this track
Waratah tree - the state flower of NSW
More signs of spring
Red and yellow pea flower
The pale colour of this pea flower caught my eye. It looks white but is two tone in mauve
Highlight of the day was this find close to the entry gate. My friend, Jan, told me 5 years ago about them - taken me that long to find. This is what I saw under the bushes. About 3 inches tall with a rosette of 4 leaves
Front on view - I am struggling to ID - possibly pterostylis concinna though the normal maroon tinges are absent. I asked my experts - it is pterostylis nana - small snail orchid. This is a unique found and maybe the most northerly known location
Side on
Was hard work to get a labellum photo - eventually turned the phone upside down. Always good to find a new orchid on a track walked hundreds of times
Did the shopping after. Rain was a lot later coming along as the sun set
Dinner: Pizza
Trade action: Bought HOOD, SLVO, STEM, ESTX50. Call spreads on TAN.
