Andrea B. Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Dave, I continue to be amazed by the flowers growing wild in your part of Australia.Thank you so much for bringing them all here to UVP. :D This orchid is so interesting. I would love to see a reshoot of it with your new Rayfact UV-Nikkor. And also some detailed close-ups. Link to comment
DaveO Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 I hope next Spring (that's from September on) will be good for orchids, they are very fussy about when or even if they flower so we can only hope. This was the only spider orchid we found last year but we have a few more clues about where to look next time. Cheers,Dave Link to comment
