More Orchids

I found this tiger orchid (Diuris sulphurea) today while looking around our block for any new wildflowers:

However it isn't actually on our block. It is a couple of metres over the boundary line, on our next-door neighbours' property. 


This one is on our block though:

It is a Chinese ground orchid (Bletilla striata), growing in my garden.

The specialised flower petals are amazing. How is the orchid house going?

I've only seen such beautiful orchids in our botanical garden's greenhouse.

What a gorgeous color on that purple orchid--such shading--beautiful thanks for sharing...we are having a spate of darkish, gray days so this really lifted my spirits to see such a lovely flower--hugs, Julierose
