Murrua Trail Ku-ring Gai Chase NP orchid hunt : January 9 2025

in Actifit2 days ago

Another rainy day. They are doing my head in. Welcome to sunny Australia. What to do? Investing accounts. Some Internet Marketing stuff. With 3 product launches running it is a busy time. Perfect time to practice on the things bought recently. Also a good time to step back and see what I have bought

Did the grab the umbrella thing when the heavy rain stopped and drive up to North Turramurra side of Ku-ring Gai Chase NP - the place I used to cycle to from the old house. Grey spider grevillea

Looking for midge orchids. None to be found but the early opening pine-leafed geebung make up for it

Cicada sound was high - closest I could get for a photo - a bit of zoom needed

Pea flowers emerging

Under the big powerlines

A calm day made it possible to get photos of this tiny pink flower. It is onna long stalk and blows around in the breeze. A centaury - maybe a slender centaury

Hibbertia

Purple fringe flower - a favourite

Found a few

This one close to the ground offers a good background for focus

Love this walk - it is exposed- no traffic noise and scribbly gums

Conesticks flower - just a few

Got some flashes if blue above the powerlines

Narrow leafed hemigenia close to the ground

Pea flower with a tinge of orange - not noticed these before

More grey spider grevillea - this one in better shape

NSW coral heath flower

A yellow theme building - pine-leafed geebung with flowers open at the bottom

Zoomed in

Spiked goodenia - more yellow

Well - did find an orchid - seeded hyacinth orchid but no midge orchids

Tear drop flower - my name

Lambertia formosa

Forms of flowering banksia - just shaping up

More open form - maybe full

Fully open - all on one bush - more yellow

Red spider grevillea

Walk done - brolly needed a bit only. Good to get walking out of the rain.

Did pay the price of not being prepared - went out in sandals. Copped a leech. Never had one from those tracks - boots tomorrow

Dinner: Pizza cooked on bbq outside. Did not like the GF bases bought the day before

Purple fringe flower Special today, other flowers are also beautiful and diverse. You always dive deep into nature. Amazing photography

Since you live in Australia, I’d love to ask you this question
Is it true that snakes can be found anywhere in Australia and no one kills them?

Lots of snakes. I see maybe 6 or 7 a year. They scoot away pretty quickly. Why kill them out there? Been a long while since I have seen one close to our home.

Oh man leech are so disgusting

I wonder how's possible you have all those beautiful flowers in the wild, here in the wild are all crappy and you need to buy them

We have lots of protected bushland all over the country. Somewhere back in time some smart people set the land aside.
