Midge Orchids open in Ku-ring Gai Chase NP: January 23 2023
Hard to get moving after a disturbed night - the dog we are looking after was out and about outside and got the neighbour's dogs barking at 1 am. 

Broke the back of writing up the week's investing post. Quick review of product launch I am working on - a small amount of traffic but no sales. Getting depressed about lack of results from the effort. Did some garden tidy up to get a small win - was a big tidy up as the vege bin is full

Got on the bike to check for a specific orchid seen budding last week.

Readers love this flower - lambertia formosa. The Latin name means beautiful 

![](https://usermedia.actifit.io/f5efb361-673f-47a6-a6c7-3027651b74cd)

Only two midge orchid buds left out of the three seen last week - one has been nibbled off

Flax-leaved wattle now open

Stages of opening - seed pod forming 

![](https://usermedia.actifit.io/dbebeb8f-5e0a-4218-9d41-11d977019d7c)

Heard a grunting sound on the left behind me. Swamp wallaby came up out of the bush and started nibbling - was happy for me to walk back around behind it for video - and a photo - well disguised

This was the mission - midge orchid in the middle of the track under the powerlines - now open

Fringed midge orchid and a myriad of pollinator flies 

![](https://usermedia.actifit.io/457639da-4d19-44b7-ad46-aa2f1b7a185b)

Flowers are pretty small and hard to get close up zoom on a windy day - best to take photos from a little distance and zoom in here 

![](https://usermedia.actifit.io/22a5cab7-b3b8-4589-9468-01c7b862ca21)

Corunastylis fimbriata 

![](https://usermedia.actifit.io/2f14a3b2-7c68-4ba6-9ddf-34a0ff476958)

This photo work is even harder - flower is maybe 4 mm across and 6 mm down - narrow-leaved hemigenia 

In the last few days I have started using iNaturalist app to ID stuff. Will not catalogue the orchids there to protect locations but it is a good way to get IDs confirmed 

![](https://usermedia.actifit.io/412de9ea-5452-437e-97c7-af2e5b58d8d2)

The eyes are always open for the unusual. This banksia flower forming has hit an obstacle - it keeps growing to make a perfect question mark 

![](https://usermedia.actifit.io/46e0b668-0a07-4994-bc10-2fa55aa28bd6)

Peach-flowered tea tree - leptospermum squarrosum - square it is 

![](https://usermedia.actifit.io/b8b97dab-a2d1-4b3d-8b96-44565e926f37)

ID on these is proving a challenge - it is a heath flower - probably epacris pulchella 

![](https://usermedia.actifit.io/c5dd4842-8efa-4b1e-b381-a8dfa8056e6f)

This looks similar but there are key differences - shape, leaves, colour 

![](https://usermedia.actifit.io/f7e3c51b-6ea9-405d-87a3-469960683bcd)

Found a horned orchid - orthoceras strictum in a new spot - past flowering but a new find is a new find 

Bumped into a friend on this quiet section. Told her where the midge orchids were - she was happy. She missed the 2nd wallaby that crossed the track between us. 

![](https://usermedia.actifit.io/7c47514c-3f7c-4799-b532-a772a76d329f)

Was good to get out to clear the head. Sure pleased the one midge orchid was open. They are delayed this year and not many of them 

Dinner: Stir fried rice 

Trade action: Europe banks screened. Bought  BARC.L, BNP.PA, DBK.DE. Credit spreads on ACA.PA, CBK.DE. A few Aussie stocks: Bought AIS.AX, PPM.AX, KMD.AX.

Are you connecting these with apple watch or something? those are awesome shots too. I think this is one of a few times I read a decent actifit post 😁

Exercise is recorded with Fitbit and synced using the Actifit app when I post. 

Thanks for the comments - I do get disappointed seeing the poor posts getting better rewards than I get. 

I am persisting as the daily journalling is important for my mental health - the photos in nature help a lot too.
