Hyacinth orchids and cicadas in Berowra Valley NP : December 10 2024

in Actifitlast month

Got my blog review finished. Wrote up the investing stuff from Monday. Post is nearly ready. Did not leave much time to do a train-bike thing. Took the car to head to Berowra Valley NP to walk there. Hoping for hyacinth orchids and maybe a late flying duck

Bark shedding season exposing the yellow trunk underneath

A few pea flowers still going

View north across the Hawkesbury River

Grey spider grevillea

Nuts time - no idea what they are. Spiky leaves are a clue

Bush was noisy with the sound of cicadas - a cacophony. Purple fan flower - a few around

Normally take the fork off this track to the right (left in picture). Did see a flash of purple from the junction

Hyacinth orchid standing tall

Blotched hyacinth orchid - dipodium variegatum

Walked the side track a bit and found another hyacinth orchid

Slender rice flower - light perfect for the photo work

Hibbertia flower - light good too. The yellow grabs the light and loses focus

Cicada husk

Another pea flower - love the fine hairs captured

Back to the normal track on Great North Walk - no flying ducks today. Cicada noise was deafening

Pays to check every flower - this hibbertia has a yellow bug

Narrow leafed hemigenia

Did get a few photos of the cicadas - able to get close enough

They are about an inch and a half long.

Twin hibbertia flowers

NSW coral heath flower - held the top of the spike to keep it still

Goodenia flowers - a little smaller than the hibbertia

View across to Cowan from the Great North Walk

Trigger flowers just opening up

Mini version of star burst flower (my name)

One more hyacinth orchid found on the way back

Close up - dipodium variegatum

Maxi version of star burst flower

Pink grevillea

Interesting flowering grass - forty or fifty spikes pop out one third down the spike

Walked past this tree a few times over the years. The tree has fallen over and is still connected to the ground. The new life is growing vertically from the fallen section
