Try 2. Somehow actifit screwed half my post - new one is a short version of car-walk trip to old haunts
New signage on an often walked track
A few themes - grey spider grevillea
Red spider grevillea
Pink grevillea
Yellow - tall yellow eyed grass
Hibbertia - two types
Maybe just one
Goodenia off track
This one is tiny - half the size of a US penny - French flax perhaps
And then onto fluffy flowers - angophora - lots of bugs
Banded in yellow is one such bug
Stepped back shot
Another plant - different bugs
White kunzea - fluff with yellow band bug
Pink kunzea fluff and a golden bug
A few other flowers going - leptospermum squarrosum
Dampiera purpurea
Did find orchids in a surprising place - bonnet orchid
A goanna or two - lace monitor lizard
Bonnet orchid standing tall off track
Cryptostylis erecta
Part of the mission was hyacinth orchids - budding
A bit further developed - a few days
More bonnet orchid action - light behind made easier photo work
Conesticks flower forming
Another goanna - they normally race uo a tree - this one posed
A few patersonia iris still going
Pleasant walking this section with a bit of shade and breeze into the face
More leptospermum squarrosum - season is ending
Red spider grevillea on the track
There is a dead section on the track which is often boggy. Saw this tongue orchid there - never seen them here
A few in frame - must have been 20 plants or more. NP did track work and made some drainage. That probably changed the environment
Cryptostylis subulata
A little more white fluffy
And the last of the yellow for the day - first showing of broad leafed geebung
Sadly no yellow leek orchids - two known spots - nada
Dinner: Pasta Alfredo with chicken - dressed some drumsticks to do crispy skin
Salt and pepper - let it stand and cook in hot oil
Stri fry the chopped chicken and set aside. Make a roux with chopped garlic, sliced leek and spring onion - butter, flour, grated parmesan - any left over cheese - cream cheese, cream
Toss in the chicken and chopped ham and sauteed mushrooms
Serve with pasta and cracked black pepper

How did the post get screwed up, what happened?
I don't know much about flowers, but I love orchids and I loved the photo of the grey spider grevillea. Nice collection of images and super healthy dinner, enjoy!
Was two thirds of the way through and got network disruption. When I fixed that by switching networks, Actifit pulled up the draft from a few days ago and had lost the current draft. Start over needed.
I did not know a lot about flowers either but 10 years of looking for flowers I know a lot more
Dinners are always home cooked mostly from scratch.
