I mean other Greenhoods also have similar notches or forked labellums, but, when taken all together, the notch separates it out from other similar species.<BR/>.<BR/>Hardly surprising that your Orchids are not showing, really. Lets hope for some rain, for you guys - but NOT a flood, like some of you got last time round.<BR/>Cheers<BR/>DenisDenis Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031115992910569116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-82608972695742696182009-02-25T22:15:00.000+11:002009-02-25T22:15:00.000+11:00Thanks MickI really enjoy getting "good" photos of...Thanks Mick<BR/>I really enjoy getting "good" photos of these plants. Hate to tell you how many I took of the Wasp Orchids. It is dark in the thicket where they grow, and I was lying down, trying not to get too damp, and peering at each image as I reviewed it, and going back to try yet again, and again. They are so small, it is really hard to get a good image.<BR/>The Greenhood was easy. But it is such a lovely flower - perfectly balanced. One of my favourites.<BR/>Glad you appreciated the photos.<BR/>Cheers<BR/>DenisDenis Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031115992910569116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-57184145995892739572009-02-25T20:27:00.000+11:002009-02-25T20:27:00.000+11:00That is a lovely greenhood Denis, the notch in the...That is a lovely greenhood Denis, the notch in the labellum shows well.
