Wilsons Promontory with ANOS

10 June 2006

On these cold winter's days I visited Wilsons Promontory National Park with ANOS.

This was the first day spent with ANOS looking for orchids. We found three Helmet Orchids (Corybas), including two new ones for me, but all in large colonies. For most the four Prawn Greenhoods Pterostylis pedoglossa that were found in flower were a highlight. Quite a few leaves were found but the colony didn't produce many flowers, which they weren't known for.

Fungal highlights were the purple coral fungus (probably a Ramaria) and the orange Tremella.

Unfortunately I lost my best set of batteries on this day, despite the retracing of steps afforded by my chauffeur on the day.

Other photos from this trip are: Day 1, Day 3 and Day 4.
