New spot for common wasp orchid in Seven Mile Beach NP : April 9 2023
Disturbed night with a big wind blowing stuff all over. Smart move would have been to get up and find the a source. The noise weaved its way into weird dreams. Cooked breakfast to start. Our friend has planned a special prime rib roast Easter lunch - my job - sear the prime rib and get the cook going
The art - cover the bones with foil so they do not burn black. Season with salt and pepper. You could choose a crust of your favourites. Sear in butter - I used the pan it would roast in - gravy in mind
Cook in 130C oven for 1 and a half hours - rest for 15. Finish off the veges in the rest time
Was just fab and we got to share a special Easter dinner with our friend
Went out on the bike to walk a slice of track walked last week
Scurvy weed
Checking up on orchid progress in a week. Two types in frame
Budding mosquito orchid
Another one close by
Mushroom and sand grains
Found a greenhood budding
Used to finding heart shaped leaves. This is a little rounded and has a bud - thinking helmet orchid
Another budding greenhood
A miniature daisy - one day I will get an ID
These orchids budding are a bit unusual - normally the leaf stays until pollination. This flower has not opened which suggests it has already self-pollinated
Hard to toelk if this is the same as the leaf is only 5 mm off the ground
Not often does the photographer get a still enough day to get a good photo of these without a tripod
Hiding under the undergrowth on the continued walk - budding greenhood
Walked back to where I saw common wasp orchid last time to get a flower for the day. One more open this side
Front on
Choglottis diphylla - common wasp orchid
Leaf photo to confirm ID
Looked behind the colony and then across the track. This is the new find of the day on the other side of the track - 5 plants and one flower
My guidebook describes these as widespread but not common. Count me lucky
Short ride and a good walk to find some orchids and one in a new spot
