'Twas a nice sunny weekend (for once), so Paul and I jumped in the Moke
and had a quick walk around the Langwarrin Flora and Fauna Reserve.
Polypomphlyx tenalla plants are out and in flower (most were almost
ready to open - should be a good display in the next week or so - with a
few fully opened). Drosera peltata and auriculata (maybe) plants are
gettimnghng a bit taller (a few inches now) and some peltatas are
flowering at this height. Found two new species of ground orchids
(tuberous) - one short greenhood (species unknown) and a yellow
sun-orchid (Thelymitra antenniflora - or something like that). The only
other find was a single D. spathulata in very wet ground (was underwater
a month ago) and a few small D. glanduligera plants (we can't get them
to grow either ;-) There is no sign of the D binata plants, or of the
aquatic Utric in the old reservoir (except for a few possible hair-like
strands).
