Why ‘faithful’? Because this is one orchid which faithfully flowers every year..LOL! At least until the possums eat the flowers anyway. Dendrobium Kingianum…an Australian native orchid which grows in Eastern states. The flowers are tiny….just over 1cm across. They are terrestrial and grow happily on trees or attached to a log in the garden.

This little one (and it’s friends) were nearly trampled they are so small. We took a picture last week with a 50c coin – about a 1/4 of the size, it was tiny! Found near Cardinia dam on private property.

If you know your Australian natives, you’ll know how tiny this flower is. I couldn’t decide which aperture to use and in the end I opted for a very shallow dof, but I know the purists would probably prefer the whole flower in focus. Taken at the Brisbane Ranges near Anakie, with 50mm macro lens and Nikon D300.
-
Another diminutive species from far north Queensland. These form mats over branches near water courses.
-
One of the many orchids that we saw at Mount Barker WA.

Native Wax lip orchid (Glossodia major) near Cygnate live in the dry eucalyptus forest floor. I discovered them under the oyster bay pine, wattle and amongst native grasses dotting the landscape. A pleasant surprise after a long day sailing.

I had a cropped version of this up about a month ago and it did not get any interest. I like it so will see how it goes now. / I think they are greenhood orchids.

I used to go hunting in the Butterfly Park Eltham to try and get an Eltham Copper, which I didn’t find. Sometimes there were other treasures to be found.
