I only know of a few localities where it occurs around here.<br />Were you happy with your botanical drawing?<br />In hte wild it is hard to [photograph, as it hangs down by hte roots, from small branches of shrubs. So any breeze makes the entire plant swing around. Doubtless you were able to control for that.<br />Thanks for dropping by.<br />DenisDenis Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031115992910569116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-91032994750442252442011-05-01T11:37:38.719+10:002011-05-01T11:37:38.719+10:00In 1996,I did a botainical painting of this little...In 1996,I did a botainical painting of this little orchid I found in the atrium collection of the Esso Building, Southbank, Melbourne.<br />Is it endangered as I was led to believe?Jenny K.

I too, would have thought the flowering times re north and south, and lower vs higher altitude to be opposite to what you have found.<br /><br />It is most interesting to compare our findings in this way.<br /><br />Regards<br />GayeGayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02899430268722758947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-89633662580255417292009-10-09T20:20:23.597+11:002009-10-09T20:20:23.597+11:00Hi Gaye
Thanks.

I noticed the time difference.
P...Hi Gaye<br />Thanks.<br />.<br />I noticed the time difference.<br />PlantNET says flowering time "Sept to Jan".<br />I would have expected more northerly areas to be earlier than this.<br />Its the first time I have seen it flower here, so I don't know if this is early here, or not.<br />.<br />Yesterday's photos were "ordinary" but I managed some better shots today.<br />.<br />From memory it is the first time I have gone back and actually removed images I was not happy with.<br />.<br />I feel happier. now.<br />My pride was tormenting me.<br />.<br />Cheers<br />DenisDenis Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031115992910569116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-88843400917357915712009-10-09T19:56:02.474+11:002009-10-09T19:56:02.474+11:00hello Denis,

I may however, be able to manage to get the Hunter Region Botanic Gardens to search out ground orchids.<br /><br />cheers<br />GayeGayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02899430268722758947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-65422062753291671132009-10-09T19:48:56.853+11:002009-10-09T19:48:56.853+11:00Hi JL

It is almost a class of its own, not a rock-lover, nor a tree-lover (nearly). It is almost always always "pendant" - like my example at top, where it is simply hanging from a thread. <br />It makes them similar in life-style to those "air plants" (Tillandsias) in the Bromeliad family. Totally unrelated, of course. But similar way of surviving.<br />Cheers<br />DenisDenis Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031115992910569116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-84370767699575675602009-10-09T08:21:04.358+11:002009-10-09T08:21:04.358+11:00What an interesting plant!
