A trip out to a favourite spot was a bit disappointing, the dry conditions meant less flowering than usual, plus some of the best ground was covered with a thick layer of debris. Anyway, a few photos were taken, the usual suspects with nothing out of the ordinary.

Glossodia major, one of few.

Hibbertia obtusifolia.

Dillwynia glaberrima.

Pigea monopetala.

At first glance this one was a little puzzling, just a few inches high with flowers on thin wiry stems.

Closer inspection though showed it to be a dwarf plant of Stypandra glauca.

Not the most productive trip, but any day out in the bush is worth while.

A trip into the box/ironbark bush at Glenmaggie to check out the orchid situation after a rather dry time. The Dotted Sun Orchid, Thelymitra ixioides is having a good season with many flower spikes to be seen.

Somewhat of a surprise was this lovely Caladenia carnea.

Caladenia catenata, usually very frequent, were a bit sparse.

As were the flying ducks.

Nice to see were a number of Purplish Beard-orchids, Calochilus robertsonii.

In this patch of bush the green/white form can also sometimes be found.
