Grey day. Slow start after late night doing IM stuff and waiting for US markets to open. Did see some green shoots in uranium and nuclear and made a few buy the dip trades. Cannot say my heart is in what is going on. Withered the morning away - was going to go shopping - decided not to
Went walking down to Blackbutt Creek to look for orchids - house for sale a few house down the road. Back of the house has been modernised into a mansion
View from the front of the old style house - nicely preserved
Photo from the edge of the golf course suggests a theme for the day. Mushrooms - clue about location - asparagus fern weed from the gardens and the golf course
NSW coral tree flower - only noticed the bugs on editing - 4 ants and a 🕷
First of the sharp greenhoods in Sydney for the season - not seen them in this part of the track before
Side on - just see the labellum poking out - pterostylis acuminata. Spent some time teaching a jogger about orchid spotting here - she liked the idea
Budding form
Did find chiloglottis orchids. Lots of flowers open where photos did not work - next orchid lesson - two leaves opposed on the ground
A slightly out of focus chiloglottis - probably seminuda
Stepped back photo
First acianthus leaf on this track this season
Seeded chiloglottis
Wet acianthus leaf - may be budding
Improving focus - leeches were busy - gets in the way of concentration
2nd tranche of sharp greenhoods in a known spot
Pterostlyis acuminata
Rosette of the greenhood
Mini mushrooms and greenhood rosette budding
Almost gossamer mushroom
Part of the walk plan each time is to recce what is coming - chiloglottis leaves close to Kiparra Street walk
And one flowering - first one this side - chiloglottis seminuda
These from that side track - many weeks to go
Pea flower
More mushroom action
Last over of the mission was to check progress on the nodding greenhoods - looks the same as last week
Maybe this is the one I saw last week - small nodding greenhood - pterostylis hispidula
A good walk. It was hot and humid and I was dripping - job done - orchids found and only one leech on me
Showered and then walked to shops to get soup stuff for my wife - she is still sick
Dinner: Wife is still on soup. Made chicken pasta with a bit of tomato sauce and paprika - spicy nice
