Foxes Lair September Highlights

September is the peak flowering month, particularly for orchids with early flowering orchids finishing and new ones coming into flower.
In normal seasons the bush is a mass of different flowers, with highlights being tassel grevillea and other proteaceae, shrub wattles, sundews, hibbertias, pea flowers, and everlastings. • Stark white spider orchids and other orchids on the Valley Loop in early September. • The Claypit is a great place for kids and for a picnic. In late September you can see dragon orchids around the Claypit • The Granite Trail winds through green growth, granite boulders and rock ferns. Look for bullets at the rifle range bank • See dewy spider webs on misty mornings and local roos in early mornings and evening. • Scented sun orchids start flowering in late September • Enjoy the wildflowers on a leisurely ride on cycle trails. Take care as these trails are also for walkers. For wildflowers flowering in September download the booklet below |
