Diuris chryseopsis - Snake Orchid
![]() |
We rounded the corner
rather fast as the car behind was a bit closer than I liked, only to hear - stop
there's an orchid. We drove on - stopped and reversed back.
Yes it was a orchid, but why is it growing on the road reserve where it's
in danger. Moral is that plants grow where they want and not where
we want. I've got allot of new mulch to testify to that!
Didn't find the orchid in the park either! Photographed on the roadside reserve leading to Baluk Willam Flora Reserve. |
