Chiloglottis orchids off track on Lovers Jump Creek : March 1 2023

Each day is proving to be a struggle. Markets are nervous. Weather is iffy. Not getting results from the effort in affiliate marketing. Too hot to ride the blues away. Small wins - got a draft in place for a video and blog post. Tested out how to do Aweber FREE for Rapid Profit Machine - more below

Went to walk Lovers Jump Creek with misgivings about the track work. This insect was happy to pose for photo

With the track work damaging track edges, had to explore a little deeper off track. Find clearer spots where there is not too much competition for the orchids. The target is wasp orchids - two leaves opposed on the ground and a flower spike. This one has finished

Found one flower left standing on a big rock. It is growing in the moss - big rains nailed most of the colony - moss slid off. Not sure how many will survive when they reach the ground below

Looks like a turtle orchid - side on looks like a turtle - chiloglottis seminuda - no calli on the lower half of the labellum

One last flower for large tongue orchid - cryptostylis subulata

Went off track again above a known spot smashed by the track work. Found a large colony - ID is a bit of a challenge with the notch in the labellum. The rest is consistent with chiloglottis seminuda

Twins made for a great photo

Brush turkey has been busy. Luckily the colony is large enough to survive this attack

Close up. Next stop is to check on the first greenhoods that will open

Fewer plants than last year as the rain has eroded the face they grow on - sharp greenhood

Pterostlyis acuminata. Last year there were buds at this time - leaves only but survived the track work

Mushroom - teacup in diameter

Waxflower

Found this colony of acianthus orchids under the ferns - new spot - heart shaped leaf and a bud

Dropped down to creek to check the other bank for possibilities - no joy - Lovers Jump Creek

Looking down creek. A popular spot to chill and swim and pash - found evidence of the latter.

Crossed to south side - found a new opener for small wasp orchid - chiloglottis sylvestris

Going off track did produce some new orchid spots. A late opener got 3 flowering orchids for the day

That blog post was made in draft - published next morning https://markcarrington.com/work-rapid-profit-machine-for-free/

Trade action: ASX - bought ABB.AX, ACL.AX, DGL.AX, PGH.AX.

Dinner: Salmon sous vide
