Promise of leek orchids on Grosvenor Fire Trail : October 17 2023

avatar

Rained through the night and stayed that way all the day. Was hoping to ride to the other side of the National Park. Just could not get motivated every time the rain started again. Got the weekly investing post done and a few ASX trades. Just when I got on the bike to ride, it rained again. Got in the car

Drove to Grosvenor Fire Trail seeking out leek orchids and flying ducks. First up photo of copper bearded orchid - calochilus campestris - known spot

Drumsticks flower

Lambertia formosa

Thinking this is dampiera purpurea but the structure is not quite right

Found a track heading off the fire trail - well worn. Soon found out why - kids have made a riding track in the bush. A few ramps made is one thing

This is a whole other level of abuse - chop down trees to create barriers. This one was a baby compared to the big one - whole trees died

Part of the mission was to check on leek orchids - growing tall

A week or two to go - prasophyllum flavum on its way

Mission step 2 - find if this flying duck orchid was open. Took a whole to find it - caleana major

The snake orchid is jow flowering fully up high - cymbidium suave

Double header caleana major on the way back

Sparkles of white

Pleasantly surprised to see this purple fringe flower open so early. It is for my friend Landie - they saved her life

Two tone tear drop flower

Highlight of the day was this leek orchid about to open - the best part is nobody will find it ad it is off track. Unless I tell them - good news is there are 6 plants closer to the track edge

Itching to get back next week - yellow leek orchid

Close by was another plant taking shape - heaps of plants to look forward to

Weather has been similar here with heavy rain over the weekend, now clear skies once again looks like the heat is on again.

Brilliant finding so much life along the path, trees being abused is a problem everywhere.

Have a great day, buy paper and paper products, (shit hitting the fan again)?

!LOLZ we have to walk to take the edge off of life today, not so?

Not going to see much rain this side - we are heading for an El Nino season. Already had 3 days overs 33C for October - a bit early.

Am super lucky to have access to the bush so close to home - a short walk or a short ride away. We move next month - bush is still convenient in Lane Cove NP but not as open as Ku-ring Gai Chase NP.

Funny thing - bought a Spanish company doing paper and paper products last week. What I liked is they are doing the full circle thing and using the by products to generate power. You will find the write up in here for ENC.MC https://mclnks.com/tib677

We also expecting a long dry summer season, not quite as hot as you yet. No safety here so sadly no walks in parks unless I go with my son and dog, beach still out of the question with ecoli.

Worked into Sappi and Mondi with paper chemicals industry, just short of twenty years, enjoyed a couple of tours through procedures at mills.

Illovo sugar industry prior, with mill 2 kilometers of the home before mill moved to Eston. Products if used effectively, everything is able to be utilized with little to no waste. Thanks for this link to your content, good reading in crazy markets.

Ran the financial models for SAPPI that defined their big expansions at Stanger Mill and in Eastern Transvaal. Also designed the costing systems for their chipboard plant in PE. Worked also at Wiggins Teape, paper merchants and for their parent many years later in UK, France, Spain and US.
