Oops..my Today's Flower is not on Blogger nor Open ID..
So I just leave my link here
They are all so unique and different for being in the same family. Its wonderful that you can see them all near your home.
nice capture of these beautiful orchids, the colors are unique and so pretty..
Lilly: I kept saying I'm going to say that one was best but they were all just great.
Old Sherlock Holmes at work again. Your Dipodium punktatum looks suspiciously like an orchid I have had at the bottom of my gaarden on Mt.Lofty, which is parasitic on Stringy Bark, so I assume you have Stringies around you?
Lovely Orchids, I too love our great selection of native species.
love that first tiger looking orchid...gorgeous colors...
have a happy week.
Beautiful orchids and you are so lucky to have them around you.
That second orchid is really unusual!
Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful orchids variety.
Happy holiday!
I thought I would stop in and take a look at one of your other blogs, I am so glad I did. I love wild orchids, we have some here as well, but alas it is winter. So now it is snowflake and ice crystal season.
