We were shown one of these orchids by our
group leader but it had only one Dorsal Sepal. So we thought we
might look for one ourselves. The next day we went for an early morning walk to a location we thought might be good - after trekking for awhile we came across our own colony of 5 plants (these ones). Latter in the day we went back for a second look. Along the way we found 2 more groups. More time and better light always helps! Photographed at Wilsons Promontory. |
