Friday 31^st October

SHE SAID:

The weather is predicted to be wet today, & we did wake to splats on the roof. We had a couple of things to do in Vasse & Busselton about 50mins away. Then we went for a drive to Boyanup, for a look around, coming back down the Vasse Highway to the burn there.

It was drizzling rain & no orchids were found, so we tried one more spot, then bailed. We were back to Bertie about 2.30pm & hibernated from the weather for the rest of the day.

Forest Mantis x Karri Spider?

Clubbed Spiders & a pale form one

 
Surprise find - Reaching Spiders still flowering,
further east they come out in July
Karri Spiders

HE SAID:

A few admin things, a look around Boyanup, some rather poor orchid stops (with the usual tasty lunch Varena packed), then back to Sue's Bridge for a fire-less afternoon and evening due to the crap weather.
