Each morning is proving to be a bit of struggle street. Late nights doing investing stuff and a living model so far from what I wanted to be doing at age 68. Have learned these last 18 years to make the best of the outdoors and what I see. Headed out to shops with a side trip ahead if that into Ku-ring Gai Chase NP to look for orchids
Lots of patersonia iris. First step mission - find snake orchid on a side track
Budding tongue orchid no more than 10 metres from track start. Not seen them this side
Pink grevillea
Purple fan flower
Lambertia formosa
Hibbertia - good light for the photos
Snake orchid is now flowering with two spikes
Front on - cymbidium suave
Side on
Front on. Tough photo as there is a bit of depth in the flower profile
Corea flowering in same spot - always a hairy view
Back under the powerlines. Never seen so many butterflies but no posers. They love the white kunzea
Mini flannel flower is a hard photo challenge if there is any breeze. Flower is the size of a US penny
Mini pea flower twins are even smaller
Sundew flower down a level even more
Dampiera purpurea
Waked back along the road - budding hyacinth orchids
Close up of the budding dipodium variegatum
Found one open - note the fluffy calli on labellum
Step back photo showing how flowers open from the bottom up
Flowering eucalyptus - maybe angophora
Next orchid find on the track that runs along the road. Budding bonnet orchid
First conesticks flowers forming
Slender rice flower
Tear drop flower - my name
Flax lily - also super tiny
3rd orchid flowering for the day - large tongue orchid. Why the name - looks like a cow tongue
Cryptostylis subulata in a known spot
Grey spider grevillea
A bit of weevil action - from underside
From the side
NSW coral heath flower
Got the walk done. Found orchids. Set my mind free. And did the shopping
Did get the weekly investing post out a little ahead of normal. Read it here https://mclnks.com/tib732
