Local Track Walk - Cryptostylis Orchids : My Actifit Report Card: December 9 2021

Another grey day by the time I was moving. Over two weeks of rain is doing my head in. Spent a fair bit of the morning watching some Covid Revealed video. It is a slugfest of lies just as I have felt all along

Went out to walk after lunch armed with rain gear. Walked the south side of Lovers Jump Creek - first up - bonnet orchid

Cryptostylis erecta - a bit further along

One on track side survived the track work

3 bonnet orchids in a row just waiting

There were 5 hyacinth orchids here - now only one. Wallabies dug them up.

One of two that might make it. How do I know it was wallabies?

Humans would take the whole plant and not just the tubers.

With the new track work, I was looking above the track. Bonnet orchid colony

Last standing large tongue orchids on the rock face

A few detailed photos to show the root structures - a leaf poking out of a crack

Then a few roots showing how they stretched across to the next crack - now exposed as the rock split off

And one more

The season is becoming one for cryptostylis orchids as the hyacinth orchids are late.

Well I stayed dry. Drifted the afternoon away.

Dinner: Mussels two way and good Aussie damper
