Chris
Lindorff, the local botanist & all round expert, came over today.
He wanted to check on the Velvet Daisy Bush that flowers on this
property, but we couldn't find any!
He
& I then headed into the National Park looking for orchids. We
had a slow start, finding mainly basal leaves & seeding flower
heads. But then we found an unexpected greenhood, which made us both
happy.

I saw these White Tailed Black Cockatoo's
on Sunday...

These two seemed to be the guards of the flock,
warning the others that I was around.
When I started walking away they stopped making alarmed screeches

 Nodding Greenhood |
| Red Banded or Banded Greenhood
HE SAID:
Varena, Chris, and I wandered up the steep scrubby hill for about 45 minutes unsuccessfully seeking this Velvet Daisy Bush. It was only in the afternoon that we realised that the house owners had actually provided us with the GPS coordinates. Oops! Next time.
