A small selection of what's in flower in local bushland, as seen on today's uplifting meander. Includes the endangered Pomaderris adnata (with ladybird), found only in this location and nowhere else on earth! South coast NSW. #FlowerReport #ozflora #wildoz

Large leaf bush pea (Pultenaea daphnoides), endemic to SE Aust. Clusters of golden yellow flowers with mauve bits.

Milkmaids (Buchardia umbellata). Five-petalled white flowers with crimson centres.

Pomaderris adnata. Clusters of small yellow-white flowers & glossy green leaves, on one of which is a ladybird.

Cow orchid or large tongue orchid (Cryptostylis subulata). Super excited to spot this. Reddish brown labellum & green-yellow stem & leaves(?).

Something that can't be unseen is the sheer popularity of racism in Australia— there's a massive slab of the electorate who are so deeply, reflexively AND consciously racist that they're perfectly willing to trash the economy, rule of law, and countless people's lives to see racist policies enacted.

This Pacific Baza appeared totally oblivious to us as it hunted its breakfast. It's the first time I've seen one with a frog and definitely one of the highlights of today's 55 species early morning walk. #birds #wildoz #brisbane

A Pacific Baza eating a small green tree frog. It took it a while to get the frog down, but as soon as it did it was off hunting again, tracking movements with its bright yellow eyes.

Caladenia paludosa - Swamp Spider Orchid Often found growing in dense coastal heathland in areas that are swampy in winter, hence its common name. Endemic to the southwest of Western Australia. #orchids #ozflora #wildoz #nativeplants #inaturalist #bloomscrolling 🌿

Picture of a single orchid flower that has long, thin petals and sepals that are greenish yellow in colour with a deep red tip to the central labellum. The labellum has long red-tipped fringing. The ends of the three sepals have think brown tips.

Swamp Wallaby mother and joey.

Photo of two Swamp Wallabies at Sydney Zoo. One is an adult female, the other is a joey that is poking its head and tail out of the female's pouch. They resemble small Kangaroos, with shorter legs and faces, and rounder bodies. They are brown and orange with a black eye mask, black paws and feet, black ear tips, and a dark brown tail.

Tweed is such a beautiful fabric to wear this time of year because it produces, in Dolly Parton's phrasing, a coat of many colors. Even a solid-colored brown is not just brown, but bits of red, blue, and yellow to produce something that looks lifted off the Scottish landscape.

There are two photos taped together. The top shows a brown stone building with a brown thatched roof. It's surrounded by green grass, stone walkways, and blue-gray sea. Below is a checked brown tweed that reflects the colors in the landscape above it.

There are two photos taped together. The one at te top shows a rocky hillside with green and straw-colored grass, gray rocks, and a tan sandy beach below. The blue waters are crashing at the shore. Below is a green herringbone tweed that reflects the colors in the landscape above it.

Rare Grevillea in a road side ditch, well a ditch that matches its preferred habitat at least 🤷🏻‍♂️ Grevillea papillosa, a Priority 3 species restricted to winter wet areas and swamps from Augusta to Nannup.

Grevillea papillosa, stems read with green leaves and small clusters of flowers with red bases that grade up to a white apex.

Many flowers with some of the red parts more obvious like the red styles

While many of the leaves are simple, they can have divided leaves, here the photo depicts a branch with some simple leaves and some leaves divided into 2 lobes!
