Banksia day down Gibberagong Track : May 29 2023

avatar

Struggle street continues. This should be easy to knock on the head but I have too many ideas banging around to be making progress. There are some easy ways. Nail jobs at home or go for a bike ride and find orchids. That is what I did.

Planned to ride to a local track and walk down to the rain forest seeking autumn orchids. Turned into a banksia day

Probably the same species - leaves are the key to ID

Maybe the same

Lambertia formosa

This is a different type of banksia

One with bee action

Matching leaf

Fabulous photo of pea flowers in the afternoon light

Next banksia showing old and new side by side - leaf looks like serratum

A bit short of orchids. This was the early bidder for orchid of the day. Bonnet orchid leaves. I was sure there would be others down in the rain forest

Cute mushroom twins

Chiloglottis orchid leaves down below

Not sure if these are the same or not - smooth edges vs ruffled edges

Cowan Creek

These have smooth edges - different for sure

Looking back down to the rain forest with the powerlines high above that I often walk under up top

Wattle flower in afternoon light is always a treat

Greenhood rosette close to where the bike is parked - pterostylis curta with a few weeks to go.

Not often that I walk a section of NP and find no orchids in flower. But this is what orchid spotting is about - findnwhat there is and what might be coming along. Tough walk dropping 300 metres to the creek and back up.

Last photo for the day - the top of the hedge trimmed and all the cuttings shredded

Dinner: My wife started pork roast. I did potatoes and veges. Was a less than happy cook.

Did get the investing post out before Memorial Day started. Read it here https://mclnks.com/tib657

So many gorgeous flowers out at the moment, signs of your orchids are there !LOLZ

Creek looks inviting although now cooler, hike back up out of there another story in the telling.

Have a wonderful day.

Having grown up with bilharzia laden creeks, I am never tempted to go in them. At school we had a creek on the boundary. We only ever swam in it after huge rains - snails all went to Bronkhorstspruit

Creeks not too inviting unless water flows strongly through, although of late, very few clean enough here.
