NATIVE FLOWER WALK on Saturday 14th October
It was yet another overcast Spring day, but we were lucky enough to be in one of the flower gardens of Gariwerd – this time at Heatherlie Quarry. Sunshine was limited, with the cold wind all day made for rugging up.
With help from eager (useful?) assistance, Wendy created a list of the various species we encountered. A valiant effort indeed.
A: Gompholobium ecostatum
B: Green-comb Spider Caladenia dilatate
C: Goodenia sp.
D: Waxlip Orchid Glossodia major
E: Grevillea alpina
F: Dillwynia oreodoxa
G: Apple Berry Billardiera scandens
H: Bearded orchid Calochilus sp.
I: Caladenia pusilla
