First season chilloglottis orchids : February 2 2025

in Actifit7 days ago

Somehow let the morning's investing and IM stuff drag the hours away - went out for an afternoon walk down Blackbutt Creek track looking for wasp orchids

In cross over season for orchids do not know what is coming up - first photo often sets the theme for the day. Grass seeds perhaps - always happy to get one standing still enough

Maybe seeds - a daisy seeded

Where those came from

Back to grass

The mission was chiloglottis orchids - last week I walked the track there were no leaves - now a few

And one budding close to the edge of the track - the signs of the cross over from summer to autumn orchids

Saw this flash of yellow. Thought it might be hibbertia. The leaf behind does not match those - looks like a strawberry. Never seen a yellow flower on a strawberry

Good ID - it is a strawberry 🍓

Back to orchid spotting - mushroom emerging and a few chiloglottis leaves

Note the leaf form to the right - the first chiloglottis of the season - just one

ID is a bit of a challenge - going to go with chiloglottis seminuda based on the lack of calli on the bottom of the labellum. The nature of the calli has me mixed up

A lot of these tiny lobelia flowers on the edge of the rainforest

Mushrooms are also the sign of autumn heading this way. Rain last week helps

NSW coral heath flower

Ginger flower in full plume - no idea if this is a garden escapee or not. Gardens are not far away up the hill

This is a bigger test - name is scurvy weed which is a native but often runs wild out of gardens

Last photo confirms the previous sighting from a km further along the track - strawberry - probably wild.

Walk done - steps done - first of the season orchid found

Dinner: BBQ chicken. Been a big weekend .

Not looming forward to the fallout of Trump tariffs on the markets
