Back to Blackbutt Creek - local bush escape : January 23 2025

Got caught up writing up investing accounts. Was planning to head to my old neighbourhood to look for chiloglottis orchids. Getting busy is one way to avoid the "go back to old tracks" discomfort.

Walked down the hill late to walk Blackbutt Creek - kind of hoping there may be some midge orchids. None last year - might have missed them. Flowers on the way

Naked lady lilies on the way too. Hyacinth orchids have all seeded - photos were out of focus

Did find one bonnet orchid hiding under a fern - their season is ending. This flower was the top one on the spike

Trigger flower

Do enjoy the grand old trees - 50 or 60 years old

Mimosa flowering

Pea flower

Big tree down. Your chance to count the rings to work out its age

Council have tidied up - two big segments below the trail

NSW coral heath flower

Lobelia - seen last time - not fully IDed yet

Seed heads ready for a breeze to waft them off - no idea if the plant is native - was deep in the bush

Dinner: Roast chicken
