We had been to the top of the mountain (Mt Baw
Baw) and had seen some great orchids; we were on our way down to check-out
more areas. One of the group we were with suggested we stop and look
at Tanjil Bren as she had seen the Yellow Leek here 15 years ago. It was
on the way so why not. Can you believe one was still there and flowering. It was just off the road and across from housing, amazingly it is surviving! The next day we returned and noted that a spider had moved in overnight and had set up its web. Lucky for it as there were at least 5 bugs caught in his web and with us flashing away he was rushing to wrap his catch up and hide all at once. Photographed at Tanjil Bren |
