Used Good Friday as a catch up day - two weeks ago has cost some effort to get back on investing stuff. Went walking late to Blackbutt Creek Track from the other side
Fab light for the photo of the creek
Been doing recce since we moved here - greenhood rosettes - the stem on the leaf suggests nodding greenhoods
Found one budding
Culled this photo from the video. The stills were out of focus. Small nodding greenhood - pterostylis hispidula. First time opening on this track
Leaves are bigger than the hispidula
Chiloglottis leaves on the path down to the creek - no sign of flowers yet
Maybe two types - this leaf has ragged edges
Walked along the creek to check on greenhood seen budding last walk. It is still budding but this one has opened - sharp greenhood. 2nd new orchid of the day and season
Found a few more on the other side of the track - a cluster of 29 flowers and buds - pterostylis acuminata
The matching leaves
Front on view showing the labellum well
Budding form
Found some more chiloglottis leaves
Good to get some orchids under the camera lens for the first time on the track.
A good way to start Easter
