Jemimah and I were entranced by this tiny yellow native orchid during our wander through The Basin Picnic Area near St Arnaud today. I think it's a Leopard Orchid, Diuris pardina, but if you know better, please do let us know.
I can't believe how close we were to missing it just because we were lazy. I'd caught the flash of yellow, but I figured that it was a scraggly wattle or the much more common Gorse Bitter Pea, Daviesia ulicifolia, and I almost didn't go over to have a look. I'm so glad we did.
Stunning, Jeanne. Our state flower is the pink lady slipper...and I've never seen one. Did you draw it?
ReplyDeleteThinking about you lately...and what a gift it was to have you here...miss you and Jemimah!
From joy to joy,
Nancy
