Wasp orchid delight down Bobbin Head way : April 18 2023

in Actifitlast year (edited)

Had grand ideas of going for a bike ride. Got stuck into doing some stuff at home. Wrote up the weekly investing post. Did some yard work. Got lazy and drove down the hill for an orchid walk

This velvet colour mushroom was right where I wanted to stand for the orchid photo

Tom Cats orchid two metres above my head

Cestichis reflexa

Greenhood rosette - hard to ID but in a known spot for sharp grenhood. Looks like nodding greenhood to me

It is mushroom season

Also in brown

Chiloglottis orchid closing up - probably seminuda - turtle orchid

Brown form mushroom - the heart shape leaf is an orchid

Spider. The web was vertical attached to something high above my head making it easy to walk around

Wattle flower

Fabulous afternoon light for scribbly gum photo

Cross cut walk goes back into rainforest - wasp orchid budding

Sharp greenhood - orchid 2 for the day

Front on - pterostylis acuminata

Quite a different mushroom

Always a leech - this one did not find a victim

Brush turkey

Did find a bunch of chiloglottis orchids - becomes an ID challenge - maybe chiloglottis diphylla - calli down the labellum

Front on - calli coming down the centre of the labellum

This one looks different - calli do not come down as far - maybe sylvestris

Leaf will help with ID

Budding - smooth edge to leaves

This is a lot easier - sylvestris

A few the same

Red mushroom

One closing up - calli do not come down labellum and there is not a rosette of calli like sylvestris - probably seminuda

Gets harder - sort of like diphylla but not convinced

?

Side on

Leaf

Maybe back to sylvestris

Leaf

Turned into a great orchid walk - 2 types plus possible 3/4 chiloglottis orchids. Next time I will walk up one side and back down the same way. Sure I missed a lot trying to see both sides

Got home to find my wife had cooked dinner - Thai yellow chicken curry. Yum

What an amazing finds! Orchids and mushrooms 😍 It is my dream to find wild orchids, but while I know a lot about those I grow myself I probably wouldn’t know it’s a wild orchid even if I was looking at it 🙈😅
!HUG

where I haven't had rain in a long time so it's hard for me to find mushrooms at this time and today I saw your post it's good

Great stepping there @carrinm, and fantastic pictures of mushrooms and orchids, thanks a lot for sharing and stay awesome.
