New season orchids from Terrey Hills : July 14 2026

in Actifit24 days ago

We have a sunny day. Went on a dual mission - check orchids and do the shopping. Getting it into my head to get back to Covid times. Shop in one place close to an orchid spot and get two types of supermarket in one place

Walking the Terrey Hills side of Ku-ring Gai Chase NP - hakea flowering over the track

Mayfly orchid flowering in a new spot - surprising - walked past this at least 3 times a season every year for over 10 years

Late flowering small nodding greenhood - pterostylis hispidula

Matching rosette

Right on the edge of the track - bunochilus longifolius - tall greenhood. First up for the season. Was sure I would find them off track but did not have to go there

Side on

Two flowers in frame

Kept walking the track hoping to find cobra greenhoods seen last year. Did spy this spike with buds - leek orchid

Close up of the buds. Not the best focus but enough to confirm prasophyllum brevilabre. Was not expecting that

Did not have to go far to find one flowering - luck pays - short lipped leek orchid

Close up frills

Double flower shot

Sydney boronia - seems early

Pink spider grevillea

Wattle flower also a bit early

Mud wasp nests vacated

Did walk off track - found a lot of bunochilus orchids in new places

Front on - first few photos were a bit confusing for ID - these are more clear - hairs on the labellum

Heaps of acianthus leaves

Greenhood rosette and acianthus leaf

One more bunochilus flowering - good to find them a bit more widely spread than previous years

Next orchid up - corybas aconitiflorus at end of cycle

One a bit younger - spurred helmet orchid - a known spot

A few mushroom and orchid leaf shots - acianthus orchid

And again - same pairing

Paired with a chiloglottis orchid leaf

Furry mushroom form

Next orchid flower up - pixie caps orchid closing up shop

Good walk with 6 orchids flowering and two new for the season. Did the shopping after

Cooked a different dinner - chicken, leek, mushroom, white wine, sour cream, fresh thyme, chicken stock. Was tasty
