Snake orchid explore in Ku-ring Gai Chase NP : November 11 2025
Headed out a little earlier to walk Murrua Trail in Ku-ring Gai Chase NP - mission - snake and hyacinth orchids
Illawarra flame tree where I parked the car - signs of summer
Bottle brush flowers - not sure it is local - maybe an import from Western Australia
Tiny flowers - smaller than a US penny - great photo
A flash of yellow - looks like the yellow rush lily I saw the other day
White kunzea - stood a while to capture the bugs flying around
Got one - a native bee perhaps

FB memories said to study these buds. Today was the day. Not orchids as there are several leaves below. Follow on to discover
That tightly packed bud elongates and opens out to this form with a splash of orange
It is a big splash of orange - easy to ID
Side on
Fully open - Christmas bells
Bottle brush
Checked the onion orchids - seeded
Two plants side by side - both seeded
Purple fringe flower - a few going
Dampiera purpurea
Trigger flower
Broad-leafed geebung with one flower open
A cluster of purple fringe lilies
Purple fan flower
Snake orchid in a broken off trunk - supposedly the only orchid that will establish that close to the ground
Banksia shoots forming
Purple kunzea
Leptospermum squarrosum
More purple - narrow-leafed hemigenia
Mini flannel flower
The mission accomplished - saw this flash of green high up and well off track. Did know to be looking off track from last year
Zoomed in from the other side - too high to get close ups. At least 4 metres up. Best look around for one closer to the ground
Found this one - less than two metres above ground
Close up - cymbidium suave - snake orchid
Side on
Conesticks flower
Kept the eyes open for snake orchids - found some.
One more - this one not in a scribbly gum tree
Another flash of yellow - no idea of ID
Walked back to the car. This tree had fallen down from the time I turned and parked. Good thing I had not parked there
Shopped on the way home - key things needed for dinner
Cooked dinner for a friend - salmon sous vide

Wow, the Murrua Trail sounds amazing. Finding orchids, especially the snake orchid, must have been so exciting. Glad you were safe with that fallen tree nature walks are beautiful but can be tricky sometimes.
