Day started grey but soon burned away to forecast blue. I was able to get out on the bike to see if I could find horned orchids on a road I saw them a few years back. Cycled down to the bottom of Galston Gorge
Context sign - last walk pre-lockdown took me to Fishponds. I have not walked between here and there. Did walk along the creek in the opposite direction for a bit
Stages of flannel flower - centre starts to open up
Then it bursts into a fluff ball to propel the seeds outwards
Summer has been wet. Mushrooms like it
I never know what will be orchid of the day - maybe this seeded bearded orchid
Context photo - Berowra Valley NP.
Rode up the gorge to stop on another fire trail to check on a few orchid spots from last visit
Maybe this is orchid of the day - budding hyacinth orchid
This fern opening is special - they are so hard to photograph. Because there are several ferns, camera got happy.
Never tire of these - my orchid group has pissed me off. I am going to widen my focus to other flowers in the bush
Did find an orchid open in a new spot- bonnet orchid
Another track side flower - cryptostylis erecta
Capturing the light on banksia serratum is an art. I hope I got it.
These too. They are little
A new bonnet orchid location
This is what I came to find. Was expecting variegated hyacinth orchid but found it was rose hyacinth orchid
Timing was good with the flowers on top of the spike open and the others drooping
Found the large tongue orchids on the way back close to the bike
Cryptostylis subulata
One more bonnet orchid to round out a freedom tour ride - light works on a tough subject
First time to ride down the gorge for a while. October training worked as the ride up felt easy.
Did a little more garden tidy up.
Dinner: Pasta alfredo.
Trade action: Bought SBLK, EWI
