Back to Blackbutt Creek for orchid update : November 17 2024

in Actifit2 days ago

Started out with a different Sunday plan - meeting friends for lunch in a Brookvale brewery. Since I lived down that way there are a few open.

A bit of a warehouse feel with old furniture. Lots of beer choices all made here. Food from a food truck out the back. Pool table. Pinball machines. Darts boards. Too bad we had to drive home. Used to live walking distance - would be a haunt.

Not a lot of steps - went walking down to the bush - mini roses on the way

Windy walk past the golf course

Hyacinth orchid bud us opening up a bit but needs two weeks perhaps

A few in shot. Disappointing to find half the plants I saw last time have fungal droop

Budding bonnet orchid - leaf in frame too

Found a bonnet orchid open on the edge of the concrete roadway - not seen them here before

Close up of a budding form

Dragon fly posed

Second flower open on tongue orchid seen last week

Side on. Always hard to get the vein in focus

New flower for me - maybe a hoya

Trigger flower up close

Sundew flowers - hard to get some focus working - always helps to have a few flowers together

Zoom in - focus is right

Dinner: Pad Thai - prawns - no tofu. I like to saute stuff first - prawns - the recipes do not

Rice vermicelli is soaked for a minute in boiling water. Added some veges - onions, asparagus, garlic and the tossed in the sauce

Mix through - top with fresh herbs (basil and coriander) and chopped peanuts. Was yum
