Midge orchids in Ku-ring Gai Chase NP : February 17 2025

avatar

Monday breaks - was hoping to do a train-bike thing. Train strikes making a mess of that. Easy enough to plan the trip out - cannot rely on the trip back if needed. Took the car to look for midge orchids

Starting out as a banksia day - old man banksia

Next up in banksia show - leaves are spiky

Old man banksia fluffed out a bit

Budding midge orchid - about the same spot as last year

Found one open lower down - brittle midge orchid

Brittle midge orchid - genoplesum baueri - an endangered orchid. Was a time this slice of bush had 10 to 15 plants - two today

Rupp's midge orchid right in the middle of the track. Note the grains of sand gathered as it pushed its way out of the ground - not rained a few days to wash the grains off

Context photo - right in the middle of the track - ID challenge - not got the yellow tips- maybe corunastylis woolsii

Changing angles

Found the midge I saw budding last time - now open - my track marker helped. As I thought last time - corunastylis ruppii

Grey spider grevillea - cannot resist a photo over the track

Fringed midge orchid now open

Leptospermum squarrosum

Easier ID - Rupp's midge orchid

Peach-flowered tea tree flower

Pink grevillea

Next in the banksia stages flowering - spiky leaves

Tiny bell flower - normally these run in a long spike - not a cluster

Rupp's midge orchid - so good to find several spots

Fringed midge orchid down Kalkari Trail - a cluster of 6 plants

A few hibbertia flowering

Rupp's midge orchid - corunastylis ruppii

NSW coral heath flower - was hoping to catch bugs- none

Golden mushroom poking out. The big one photo got deleted

Lace monitor lizard heading to safety

Budding fringed midge orchid budding on the way back

Silver lining on the banksia flower

Mimosa flower - a good walk - 4 midge orchids found. Not humid.

Shopped on the way home
