Wonderful pictures. Congratulations.

And thank you to everyone for their kind remarks about my paphiopedilum. It sits on my table and and there are nine little faces smiling at me while I write.

Wonderful photographs. One question; I know nothing about these orchids, but why is the species name at the bottom of each photograph different to the heading, e.g. heading Corybas diemenica, photo caption Corysanthes diemenica?

Well... The problem with australian terrestrial orchids is the name... Australian botanists give names, but Kew has other names... On the picture you have the name that is given in Australia, and heading is the name accepted by Kew...

Found this nice group of Barlia robertiana at a roadside yesterday I want to share with you.

Wow! What a delight to see ! Thanks, Hans - you've made my day. I  can just imagine the fragrance. 

[Hans A.]

Thanks Maggi!
Here another picture of a meadow with Barlia - this is part of a personal project to augment the number of orchids in a private property (not mine) - it seems it works, every year i can count more Barlias, Ophrys and Serapias which grow here naturally - recently I discovered two more Ophrys species I did not know for this area.

[Erwinia]

These Barlias are magnificient, thanks for showing!

I've got a couple of mediterrainian orchids in bloom in the GH; Gennaria diphylla and Serapias lingua:

Two nice pictures Erwinia.
My Serapias are only just starting to show what I hope to be spikes way down in the rosette, but like yours my Gennaria has been flowering weeks.Funny how they flower at different times under different conditions.
All mine are kept quite dry with just the sand plunge moist.
I have read thar Serapias grow in moist areas, and I wonder if I should be watering them a little more.

This Epidendron, flowering in the front garden, has produced a seed pod. Wonder what species of bee or wasp (?) pollinated it? I think the plant will be flowering for a while longer as I noticed a fourth spike with developing flower buds.

hello friends,
the first (and only?) flowering from my Pterostylis this year

Diplodium (Pterostylis) truncatum


the left plant made a tiny second 'flowerbud', this sometimes happens

enjoy

[Tony Willis]

Dieter very nice

Pterostylis curta in flower now six months after my first ones flowered

Serapias vomeracea x apulica

[SteveC2]

A first flowering of this one for me.  The flower spike has appeared after the leaves have died back giving it a lonely appearance, but it has a lovely scent.
Sorry!  Something got lost.
Suppose it might help if I tell you what it is!  Oreorchis patens from Asia
