Only Orchids are Home Rock Orchids : August 23 2022

Sun was out. Forecast is for rain. Focused on getting the weekly investing post out. Then headed out to walk a slice of Ku-ring Gai Chase NP in search of two orchids and to do shopping

Every walk brings a different perspective - weird flowers - looked it up. Dodonaea triquetra, known as common hop bush.

Rice flowers just starting for the season

Went looking for the leek orchid I found last week. The budding one is still there but the flowering one has been dug up by a wallaby. The stalk of the chomped plant is visible to the left

A few patersonia open but no sun orchids found

Cluster of pea flowers standing tall on a long spike

Pink wax flowers. Disappointing to find just two orchid buds for the walk - one I knew about and one new

Did the shopping. One supermarket has no eggs. I guess we will see more of this. Good thing I do not need eggs

The orchids at home have opened to make up for the lack in the bush

Pink rock orchid - dendrobium kingianum - a native orchid

Rain hammered down when I got home - smart move going out early

Dinner: Italian meat balls - make meatballs with onion, egg, seasoning and herbs - bigger than golf balls. Fry each side

Fry up chopped onion, celery, garlic, capsicum - sequence by the time they take to caramelise

Add in stuff for a rich tomato sauce - wine, canned tomato, stock, tomato paste, herbs.

Bring together - serve with pasta and parmesan cheese

Trade action: Bought CCJ, DBA, LOOP, MA, NAT, SLDP, SPWR, CURA.TO, LFST.V, PYPL. Sold JKS.
