Staying at Siesta Park, makes it easy for the orchid hunter, like us, to access where they grow. So we started our orchid hunting day early. Soon we were off, looking for the spots our book that mentions where orchids can be found. Drakaea is a genus of 10 species...
We’ve been awake awhile and it’s still not time for church, what to do? Go for a walk in Koondoola Bush. I think we enjoyed our time in God’s creation before Sunday worship.
My husband sure knows how to show a girl a good time. After our outing to Brookton Highway Nature Reserve, the next day we went to Lightning Swamp Bushland. It was a sweet day, and I was delighted to have a romp in the swamp.
Our travels towards Perth brought us to a lovely spot of wildflowers. Jug Orchid (Stamnorchis recurva – formerly Pterostylis recurva) Flowers large, jug shaped – thus the common name. Older flowers have reddish hue but new flowers are white with green and brown markings.
