On our evening dog walk, a wildflower growing half way up an embankment caught my eye:
The close-ups were uploaded to iNaturalist, where the flower was identified as a Spotted Hyacinth Orchid, Dipodium pardalinum. It is quite amazing to me see an orchid growing out of what appears to be just rock!

Yes, Amazing!
Fabulous find. You just earned your "eagle eyed" badge.
Interesting! Orchids don't need much soil. I once had a Vanda orchid. Its roots were completely bare. I used to hang it in the shower each morning to water it. That was all it needed. The flowers were a beautiful shade of blue.
Well spotted...a pretty bloom among the rock.
