We found the small unique orchids on soil overlying granite rocks, either
around the top of the rock or in areas partly down the rocky slope.
We knew where these orchids grew as 3 years ago we were on an orchid
tour and our guide casually stated that this was the spot where
Spiculaea grew and it would be flowering in another few weeks. So in
mid October 3 years later, we revisited the site and sure enough there
they were - in their hundreds. As we went around the state and
visited more rocks, we continually found these orchids. |
