Dipodium roseum which is a leafless saprophytic Australian orchid which you only see when it flowers in early summer. The little tubers constantly move around underground favouring under large eucalypts that shed bark.

Is this the start of a new flower spike? Hoping so! It would be my first bloom from this orchid.

Black-hooded sun orchid (Thelymitra atronitida) near Mallacoota, East Gippsland, VIC. This uncommon species tends to be very shy to flower - usually only see one or two flowers open briefly on warm/humid mornings. A nice patch of plants at this location but only one flower open. #orchids #inthefield

Double ducks west of Mallacoota, East Gippsland, VIC. Didn't see a lot of large duck orchids (Caleana major) on my couple of brief East Gippsland trips this year but did see scattered plants in full flight at a couple of locations. #orchids #inthefield #ozplants

Cymbidium sauve (Grass-leaf Cymbidium / snake orchid) in the rain at Corunna, NSW. After what looked like a goodish start to the flowering season only one plant on the road in actually made it to full-flowering - the very dry spring affected most other plants around the property. #orchids #cymbidium

Selenipedium dodsonii is an extremely rare orchid (2.5m tall) not usually seen in the wild so this was a real highlight. Named by Phil Cribb in honour of Calaway Dodson this was seen near Puyo 🇪🇨🌿

Sobralia virginalis was seen on the steep roadside cliffs between Baeza and Puyo. The flowers are really stunning, large and supposedly fragrant too 🌿

Cattleya iricolor has a fascinating history. Strongly fragrant with delicate yellow flowers this species was described by Reichenbach in 1874 then undiscovered until 1962 when Padre Angel Andreetta found it in the Upano valley. 🌿
