We had searched this area for a leek we had
seen the year before, unfortunately after it had flowered. This year
the leek was nowhere to be seen but this orchid was, but it was late and
time and temperature had seen to it that the flower was closed for the
day. We returned a few days later, quite early and it was hot, but
the orchid was gone; perhaps a kangaroo's dinner. We fortunately found
another one soon after, but only one was to be found. Lucky again.
Now we will no doubt see lots more. Photographed in the Brisbane Ranges National Park. |
