Winter orchids downunder

[Richard_M]

We're starting to get a number of the winter native orchids in flower. There are also a number in bud and should flower over the coming weeks

#1 Fringed Helmet Orchid (Corybas fimbriatus)

#2 Cobra Greenhood (Pterostylis grandiflora)

#3 Nodding Greenhood (Pterostylis nutans)

#4 Trim Greenhood (Pterostylis concinna)

#5 Tall Greenhood (Pterostylis melagramma)

Have seen and photographed all of these in our local environment.

So beautiful. Flowers are very interesting and almost look like they are from outer space.

Fantastic shots, Richard.

My wife is an avid orchid grower. We must have at least 50 around the house and garden in pots,etc.

Thank you. I'm planning on heading out again tomorrow. Hopefully I'll have a few more varieties to show.
