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

I’ve never seen the Banksia flower before
Looks nice and unique though
