Golden moth orchid (Diuris chryseopsis) by Rosie Appleton
So happy to see these in Belgrave South again… have been watching the spot and thought the owners had mown them! When I was photographing yesterday the owner walked over to have a chat and walked on several on his side of the fence! He thought the flowers looked pretty so hadn’t mowed them… he’s got no idea of what he has… and that is the only good stand of these on the whole SE side of Melbourne!!!! LOL, he promised to leave them for “about 4 weeks”.... arrrhhh!!! He has had a great little colony of Greenhoods by the look of it, they are finished now but there are heaps of “leaves” coming up all over his front nature strip… he says he doesn’t mow on the Courtney’s road side any more, the CFA use it as a “parking bay” during summer so there is hope for the ones there… / Not necessarily rare but very limited in this area Taken with my Lumix, as a farewell outing before being retired to my daughter… no more macro for it LOL

Stelis adrianae by Ron Long
This Orchid is from Ecuador. Ecuador is a tiny country but has over 4000 named Orchid species and more being described every year. With so many Orchids one would expect to find them everywhere. They are everywhere but finding them is very difficult. One reason is that a great number are tiny like this Stelis. The bush is thick and if you don’t know what you are looking for you never see them. We had an excellent guide without whom the trip would have been a bust. / I don’t like using any kind of a scale in plant photos but in this case the whole appeal of the flower is it’s size – 3mm – so a scale is necessary.

Phalenopsis aphrodite by andrachne
The name is probably a reference to the genus Phalaena, the name given by Carolus Linnaeus to a group of large moths; the flowers of some species supposedly resemble moths in flight. For this reason, the species are sometimes called Moth orchids.
