SHE
SAID:
I
had high expectations after yesterdays haul of orchids found. I
chose tracks that are known for wildflowers & orchids, but they
were burnt in the 2014 fires. There were very few orchids to be found
on these tracks.
We
did find about a dozen different types of orchids, not all in flower,
but nothing new. Though I have yet to check through all the photos
properly!
It
was a nice scenic drive none-the-less, around parts of the Grampians
that neither of us have seen before. The sun was out for most of the
day, & the temperature reached 16c at one stage. I can't complain
about that!

HE SAID:
After yesterday's big effort I was told that I had to find several new orchid varieties today. Fail! It is usually good just driving and wandering around in the bush, luckily for me. Because that was all we managed.
