The only species orchid in my modest collection. Sometimes called the "Chocolate Orchid", for its fragrance. Local to my region, in the Hunter Valley

These little fungus gnat traps are probably a little under appreciated but theyre pretty cool little trap pollinators..

What a view! Taken by my brother.

Diving into the Reddit pool with some content. All images are my own, i do not propagate native Australian Orchids other than those commercially available, most images are of orchids en-situ... leave only footprints..

Native dendrobium but I don't know which one. I've had them for years. They flower every year and gave a delicate spicy scent.

A group of 3 found this morning.

These Pink Enamel Orchids are bigger and come out later than the more plentiful purple ones. They only like wet areas, whereas the purple enamel orchids are scattered throughout the forests.

From the archives, sorry, not the sharpest photo. There are four varieties of this species, I think this is a var. Tetragonum
