no using them to figure out where I live, come 'round and make fun of me ok
It's orchids time!
A spider orchid. They're some of my favourites - you don't get the full effect in a photo, because they're big! About the size of your hand, with the petals outstretched. There will be more.
The humble donkey orchid! I don't see a lot of them and didn't get a good photo.
These are pink fairy orchids. They're super cute and there's a path along a creek near where I live where you can see hundreds of them at once which is really lovely, but hard to take a photo of.
Cowslips. I love them, they're really bright and cheerful and again pretty big.
Another spider orchid. King spider orchid, maybe? Lots of white spider orchids where I live - that and green.
But this one has some pink! I love the deep magenta and fringe on the labellum.
And apparently I've hit my limit for one post. I'll leave it for a bit then post more. Probably you can tell I like my orchids (although not every flower photo I take is of one! I get peas and kangaroo paws and their relatives too!) Plenty more where these came from.
So gorgeous! Sadly its too cold and too polluted by agricultural fertilizers for them to grow where I live!
