Blue is not a colour often seen in flowers, but some of our wildflowers are stunning blue, these are a few blue beauties from my corner of WA.

These azure orchids are not common in my area, but they are my favourite of the sun orchids.

We have such a range of white spider orchids in WA, and many natural hybrids, these are just a few I've seen this year. Sometimes it's hard to tell them apart, I have to get the magnifying glass and text books out when I get home from my walks.

#WildOz I get to see a lot of beautiful wildflowers on my orchid hunts, and just bush walking around my area. They are everywhere this time of year.

Some unusual orchids from around my area. Very little research done in the South East of WA, so new hybrids and species are often found.

Went for a bush walk in the rain, saw the local kangaroo paws flowering after the fires last summer, nature is beautiful. There are some little cowslip orchids hiding near the paws.

I prefer my small house in my small town. Lots of green space, I can grow food in my garden, and this is the view from my favourite dog walking track, 5 mins walk from my home. You can keep your apartment life. Australian cities are really awful, dirty, badly planned, expensive places.

Found a Dragon Orchid a couple of days ago, first one I've seen. Lemons are just coming out around my way, but tons of other orchids to spot and enjoy. #wildoz #orchids

lol lucky you, you get to experience one of the few coldish days that Perth has.

I'm in WA , and we had 8 months of little or no rain over the summer, and horrible heat, so much death, all rain is welcome and enjoyed by us and the species that rely on it.

Including the flora.

Gorgeous, all dogs have their own unique personalities, and weirdy bits. My girl is a rescue of unknown parentage, and is totally unique, but she shares some weirdy bits with your pup.

So many colour variations in the spider orchids in my corner of Western Australia, these are just a few from my walk today. Many are hybrids . #WildOz #orchids

Can I play in the foamy stuff Mum? (LOL she asks after rolling around in the foamy stuff 🤣)

Wow that's early for a lemon orchid. No sun orchids out in my area, but some of the spider orchids are coming out now. Here are a few sun orchids from last season.
August 11, 2025 at 3:31 PM
LOL yes I can see how you would think that 😅 I'm not one for lots of words, but could have used a few more for greater clarity. Native Australian orchids are beautiful. Here's a few more from my local area.

Dixie has an offer I can't refuse.

"Afternoon tea now, or the sheep gets taken out onto the back lawn, and you know what happens next, do ya feel lucky punk, well do ya? . "

They are beautiful, but can be a bit of a weed if not kept under control. Every flower is different, unless you only have the bright pink ones. They have a strong and lovely scent, in late afternoon and at night. Just a few of the colour variations.

For me it's just a matter of choosing which fabrics and styles, don't cause sensory issues. Problems were often from having to wear "uniforms" , etc. I love your photos, I have those "four o'clock " flowers in my garden, and love the variety of colours, and the fragrance.

We have a lot of these in my area, they often hybridise with other orchids in the same family Caladenia. This one is a hybrid with a "Pink Fairy" orchid.

Thank you. She is a rescue pup, half Jack Russell , half Red Heeler, and the most wonderful doggo. Smart, affectionate, and gorgeous. (we all think our doggos are the best though).

@streborm.bsky.social My girl was an agility star in her younger years, she also competed in Rally O , this is her practising for the "Doggolympics" we held in our street during Covid. She got Gold in the "hall way hurdles" event. 🏅

Is it hot where you are? He might prefer the coolness of the floor and steel? What sort of dog is he/her , looks a lot like my doggo, a Jack Russell x Red Heeler. I put an old cotton towel on her flat bed in summer, much cooler than fluffy bed, and she can stretch out.

I'm in WA, and this is the bushfire near my place yesterday, 43C and hot northerly winds. The sun through the smoke, I've come to hate summer in Australia, so stressful.

These are some of the roses I grow, AI really doesn't improve on nature.
