Kerryn Madsen...
I grew up in the Grampians near Hall’s Gap, Vic. and where every Spring the wild flowers, like this ‘spider orchid’ (commonly known as) would rise to the occassion out of the ground in the scrub type bush, often no more than 6 inches high. So delicate and beautiful.
Peter Hammer replied
Thanks Kerryn. They are beautiful flowers. This shot was taken in Warrandyte (an outer suburb of Melbourne). The Grampians is a fabulous place for wildflowers in spring.
