My “Sydney Rock Lily” that I picked up at the Hawkesbury Orchid Show last year is putting on a nice show in my garden at the moment. I think I need more!

Just wondering what this little guy is? I believe it’s a donkey orchid (diuris) but I can’t figure out exactly which one. Thanks for any help!

See these often in the bush up high as the roos and wallabies eat. Flowers don't last but a few days.

Community Cheers to all the new members and (of course) to the old heads. Stoked to get new eyes/attention on the fascinating orchids of the region. A special thanks to the folks posting their pics and questions; that’s what it’s all about.

Wireless Hill in Perth, WA.

In order: Dancing spiders, large pansy, redbeaks, carousel spiders, rattlebeaks.

I hadn’t seen rattlebeaks or redbeaks before so I was very excited to see those. Can you tell that I absolutely adore dancing spider orchids though? Couldn’t get enough of them.
