no using them to figure out where I live, come 'round and make fun of me ok

It's orchids time!

A spider orchid. They're some of my favourites - you don't get the full effect in a photo, because they're big! About the size of your hand, with the petals outstretched. There will be more.

The humble donkey orchid! I don't see a lot of them and didn't get a good photo.

These are pink fairy orchids. They're super cute and there's a path along a creek near where I live where you can see hundreds of them at once which is really lovely, but hard to take a photo of.

Cowslips. I love them, they're really bright and cheerful and again pretty big.

Another spider orchid. King spider orchid, maybe? Lots of white spider orchids where I live - that and green.

But this one has some pink! I love the deep magenta and fringe on the labellum.

And apparently I've hit my limit for one post. I'll leave it for a bit then post more. Probably you can tell I like my orchids (although not every flower photo I take is of one! I get peas and kangaroo paws and their relatives too!) Plenty more where these came from.
