Spectacular forms! Yes, Lisa, it seems like in a science fiction movie! Looking forward to seeing the flower when it matures. Thanks for sharing another attraction of your nature oasis! 🙂

There are so many living creatures in Australia that I’ve never seen anywhere else. The sundews are beautiful.

A lovely little patch of Gnat Orchids

Slatey Helmet Orchids are starting to flower.

I thought I would start introducing the creatures that live on our property. The obvious one to start with is Cheeky, the wild Sulphur Crested Cockatoo who introduced himself to us not long after we moved in. Most of the Cockatoos stick to the trees, but Cheeky literally knocks on the door, does a routine with wings and crest extended to get attention. If we still don’t talk to him, he shouts. Yes, we give him some sunflower seeds, but it isn’t all about the food. He often sits and listens to me talk rather than eating, and when I was really ill, I sat and told him all of my thoughts. He is a wonderful listener. He also checks out what I have on my feet every day. I have no idea why.

Nature never ceases to surprise me. In reality, the orange fungus (or is it slime mould?) was even brighter than my photos show. Next night it rained, there was a frosty morning, and now no sign of it.

Dusk tonight from the far side of the dam looking toward the house. I like the reflection of the house light on the water. Also the silhouettes of trees against the clear sky.

Slaty Helmet Orchids (Corybas incurvus) are coming into bud. Such interesting little plants. Another one which is there every year.
