SHE
SAID:
Geoff
& I had a full day out today.
I
had arranged to meet Alan Stephenson, the Shoalhaven region's expert on
orchids. He kindly offered to show us around the Nowra area, when I
emailed him for suggestions of places to go looking for orchids.
It
was a great day; we found 5 different flowering orchids, & were
shown many other terrestrial, epiphyte & lithophyte plants &
leaves. I now have to remember everything & write it down for
future reference. Geoff
cleverly put our stops into the GPS.

| Small Helmet Orchid, or Pelicans |

| Cobra Greenhood |

Our day was long, both in time, and in distance. It was just under 12 hours from departure to return, and just under 500km for the day. But it was fine. As the only person not to get a leech on them, I survived fairly well. Varena learned a heap about orchids, and it was a good day out all round.
