Noticed something interesting in the garden.

For many years I have had several show-grade Sydney rock orchids in the garden (ie dendrobiums). For the past few drought years they have been a bit recalcitrant - showing little interest in growth and poor flowering.

But this week I notice they’re sprouting bulbs like they're on steroids - new spikes coming out all over the place. Seems they know serious rain is coming and it’s going to be a wetter autumn - spring should see a good show from them. I've seen this behaviour from them once before long ago, also at the onset of a humid, cloudy season

So expect a cloudy autumn and winter, folks...
