Many Orchids flowering prolifically. Some in places where they were not known to occur previously.Denis Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031115992910569116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-1504655880278965602010-11-17T13:46:31.208+11:002010-11-17T13:46:31.208+11:00thank you Denis for posting these photos on your w...thank you Denis for posting these photos on your webpage. I live in Orange NSW and after all the rain we have had in 2010 there have been many native plants flowering. We have many Tiger Orchids flowering at this time of the year and your photos have enabled me to identify these orchids accurately. Thank you again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-38326709773823459742009-10-24T09:04:36.552+11:002009-10-24T09:04:36.552+11:00Hi JL

It is said to be in the Grampians, but I know how big an area that is.<br />.<br />Nobody has laughed at my typo in the title - "Donkley Orchids". I only saw it when your comment came through. Ooops.<br />.<br />Cheers<br />DenisDenis Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031115992910569116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-73271897857804047452009-10-24T08:59:26.369+11:002009-10-24T08:59:26.369+11:00Thanks Mick.

People accuse David Jones of being a "splitter", but when you look in close detail, they really are all different.<br />Great plants. <br />I will publish my photos of the purple one tomorrow. That makes 5 species this season.<br />Now is the time to look for your white one.<br />Cheers<br />DenisDenis Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031115992910569116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-74588978824598108942009-10-24T08:49:16.660+11:002009-10-24T08:49:16.660+11:00Hello Denis,

I have seen and photographed the diurus alba which occurs up in this area. However, it was a few years ago and I need to find more next season and try to get better photos. Most or all of the bush flowers are now finished as it has been so very dry for the last 3 months.mickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08230845410313320080noreply@blogger.com
