Road Trip Saturday (part four)
A drive past canola fields and bushland and we made our way to Rica Erickson Reserve.
To say we saw a lot of white spider orchids would be an understatement, but not all had a white spider on the white spider orchid like this one.
The rain kept coming down as I struggled to get this white spider orchid’s profile.
We didn’t just come to see orchids, this reserve is rich in many wildflowers. Borya laciniata Churchill
Love too see the mix of color with cowslip orchids and…
Coneflower? -At this point the rain nearly chased me back to the car…
…But not until I can get a close up…
and a shot of this colorful mix.
As well as this pea flower.
Dianella was also looking a mite soggy.
Couldn’t resist this image of the drosera climbing up a tree stump.
No raindrops on roses here. Patersonia occidentalis Purple Flag
Well I just couldn’t stop photographing spider orchids, I think it was the drop at the top that grabbed me.
John found this orchid we hadn’t see here yet. Pheladenia deformis Blue Fairy, Blue Beard
Â
Some more white spider orchids with a splash of color behind them.
John got much closer to them with his fish eye.
Two cuties together.
