Baluk Willam Reserve & Sherbrooke Forest

2 December 2006

The day turned out better than expected so I ended up leaving late in the morning for a little outing.

At Baluk Willam I saw two Large Tongue-orchids Cryptostylis subulata in flower, they'll be flowering through December and the Small Tongues will be possibly be starting in a few weeks. I also saw three species of dragonflies and briefly one unusual damsel but it was too quick for me to get a proper look at.

I then went for a walk in Sherbrooke Forest, looking for and finding the Tall Potato-orchid Gastrodia procera. One plant was deformed in an unusal way, there were three flowers near its base and the spike split off in two half way up.
