SHE
SAID:
I
had my final bush walk in the ACT today. Tony suggested there might
be things out at Booroomba Rocks. He was right.
Apart
from the multitudes of people dressed in their very bright figure-hugging “active wear” off climbing the rock, there were several
orchids around. I
found a new to me one, the Autumn Magenta Orchid, plus a Summer
Greenhood & a Rosy Hyacinth Orchid.
The
rest of the places I went looking I was unsuccessful; & there
were plenty drongos haring around dirt roads. Note to self: don't go
out at the weekends, it's way too crowded!

This little orchid is the Eriochilus magenteus -

I did the usual transport for Mum, then we had the Canberra girls over to Farrer. It was our final catch up before our departure northwards.
