Waratah Trig Rd. 9th August 2013

Only had 1.5 hours to spare today due to other commitments, but it only took a couple of hundred metres to find these beauties in this top spot on the Central Coast.

Acacia oxycedrus  -  Spike Wattle.
 
Grevillea sericea  -  Pink Spider-flower.
 
Eriostemon australasius  -  Pink Wax Flower
 
Epacris microphylla  -  Coral Heath
 
Fungus growing on a piece of bark in the leave litter.
 
Comesperma volubile  -  Love Creeper.
Had been waiting 6 years to photograph this plant after seeing it growing
in Tasmania.

Tetratheca shiressii      (one of the Black-eyed Susans, no common name)
 
The flattened stems of this Bossiaea scolopendria (no common name)
make it look more like a succulent.
 
Two Boronia sp. try to outdo each other.
 
Telopea speciosissima  -  Waratah.
This will be a spectacular sight when fully opened.
 
Boronia pinnata  -  Pinnate Boronia.
 
Banksia ericifolia  -  Heath Banksia.

Saw this ground orchid the next day so I thought I'd add it on the end.
