Imperial Masterpiece
I note that some of you are also orchid fanciers.
All our local native orchids are terrestrials but we do have quite a range of species. I'll try to get some others as they flower in the bush but here's one I have in cultivation.
This is Pterostylis nutans - nodding greenhood.
These have not done particularly well this year. Flower stems are only about 3" tall.
This one is also an Aussie native though grows naturally quite a way north of here. Not really happy in our cold winters even in the unheated poly tunnel.
Early cymbidiums have also started to open
