Belinda Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Hi We decided to investigate an area near Inga waterfalls today - "Bedford creek fire trail" Im slightly embarrassed posting these shots given dans kimberly pics - but anyhow here they are . The first peltata we came across on a sandbank track side Not far down the track i found a lone pygmae --note the flower stalks A pic to show how abundant cps are in my area - this picture was just a small portion of the actual colony (would have been four times the picture size). this is typical of most areas . A pic of a plain old spatulata - but i loved the colour - similar to "tamlin" (in my opinion anyhow) Near some rock cliffs we came across a small seep This illustrates my point on peltata and the lack of species info or acknowlegdement of variants . Note these pics where taken about 12inckes from each other - same conditions . green type red type and previous form on sandbank and finally some of the local flora which were very abundant They make the bush in this area look like a botanical garden some Sydney Waratah a yellower form Hope you enjoyed the pics obviously common drosera but still fun to walk and check out newareas. regards Belinda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Spence Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Love the Telopea. Never seen one in flower in the wild yet. You should start seeing some Utricularia from here on in. Looking forward to seeing what variation you find in those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belinda Posted September 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Thanks Sean I was surprised by the number of Telopia in this area .Almost all were in flower . The bush with groups of these in flower looks truly amazing . What a beautiful country you and i live in. regards Belinda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Spence Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Yes, you just can't beat the bush at this time of year. Pity I won't get much chance to get out and see it this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenofeden Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 What a beautiful country you and i live in. regards Belinda you sure do! great pics, the Telopea is fab. Belinda, I have noticed that your pics are improving all the time, have you got a new camera or are you just getting better with the one you have ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 That Telopea is absolutely stunning both in flower and leaf. Presumably popular with the local Honeyeaters.... :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob H Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Nice set of images again Belinda I like that big red flower too :-) I wonder if it could be grown here in a nice heated greenhouse.......... :? (EDIT - Well I answered that one mi'self, found a GC in Cornwall that sells Telopea speciosissima :-) at http://www.trevenacross.co.uk/index.asp ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fernando Rivadavia Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Thanks again Belinda for the pics! They're great, so no need to apologize. ;) I always enjoy pics of wild CPs, even when they're not so good (which is not the case!). Thanks, Fernando Rivadavia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
