SHE
SAID:
Our
travels today took us to the northern section of the Chiltern/Mount
Pilot National Park, where Geoff excelled himself on the orchid
spotting front.
My
tally for the day was 4 definite different orchids in flower, with
one more maybe, & several lots of basal leaves of different ones
again!
I
was well happy, & Geoff didn't even complain that lunch was late!

This is called a "Rooting Shank" fungus! Truly!
In Latin; Xerula radicata. It stood about 25cm high.

HE SAID:
My dim wanderings in the bush worked out well again. Spotting orchids for Varena, and her enthusiastic responses to these finds, are what keeps me going out to look with her. If we don't find any orchids then it really does feel like a dim wander.
