Koondoola Orchids

Our house is close to a lovely piece of bushland, and it was an extra treat for him to come home early and we got to take a walk there together.

This particular day we went in to find some orchids.

We were first met with some lovely spider orchids.

Some cute spider orchids, a little different from the ones we saw at Lightning Swamp which had pointy ears, and these are more rounded.

There are usually so many of them in Koondoola, and I never get tired of seeing them.

So far my experiences with looking for orchids, you see them one or two, perhaps three at a time, and often hard to find, so it was happy to see a large group of Donkey orchids.
