More greenhoods on Comerong Island Reserve : August 6 2024
A blue sky day. A slow start day. Did get out on the bike to walk Comerong Island. The 5k steps are done by the time one gets on the island
Coolangatta Mountain standing over the Shoalhaven River on a super still day
Wattle flowers are out
The wading bird nesting areas signs are up - not a lot of birds
Leptospermum squarrosum are just opening
A few mushrooms showing
Context photo at the start of the track down the island
Have seen greenhood leaves on previous walks - nothing showing this time - look finished
The flower close by - finishing - maybe pterostylis curta
Keep looking is the key skill - did find an open blunt-tipped greenhood
Side on showing the twisted labellum
Found some more further along the track - a win to find two flowering
Kept walking. As the track lifts up above the flood zone there are orchids - knew from last walks. Back to yesterday's ID challenge - elongated galea
Matching rosette
Front on - labellum showing - form suggests pterostylis oblonga
The next one is different - helmet is not as long - going to guess pterostylis erecta
A little front on to show the labellum
Matching rosette - ruffled edges are different to the oblonga
Made the turn to head back. This photo is of a helmet orchid and greenhood rosette. Need to walk earlier next year
Pterostylis curta on the way back
Matching rosette for the pterostylis curta
See the enlarged galea - pterostylis oblonga on the way back
Another colony of greenhoods on the way back - front on
Side on
Interesting fruit - the wallabies like these - saw a few
Walked back along the beach - lots of debris makes for great photo frames - looking north to Gerroa
Now you know why they tell you not to enter floowater. Imagine being smashed by all that timber
Looking north across the debris
View back across the river mouth to Berry Mountain
Ride was a little part of the day's work - steps work
Dinner: My wife cooked massaman curry - yum

The plants all have different names but they look almost the same to me
I can’t even spot the differences😁😁
I will start to highlight some differences. Lesson 1 - colour is the worst indicator
Ooh okay good
You are really obsessed with plants😁😁
They look good
The flowers are wonderful and it's like you're also a good photographer. Keep it up.
Thanks - been doing it for a while
