| Now these are interesting orchids. Generally Horned orchids have a large fertile bract - that's the leaf that appears behind the flower. In the orchids that were photographed it is very small in comparison to the Marlo and Otways plants. The labellum is also slightly rounded in line with the special Otways form. So what have we here - something special perhaps perhaps not - We will know next year. | |
