Wildflowers Along the Way

Our travels towards Perth brought us to a lovely spot of wildflowers.

 A Banksia

A wax flower (John thinks)

Hibertia

Lechenaultia

Diuris is a genus of herbaceous plant belonging to the orchid family, with more than fifty described species. The genus is presently being revised, with many newly described species.

 

Well if nothing else, I am pretty sure it wasn’t a common Donkey Orchid. So many to choose from.

Pea flower

A Myrtle

Jug Orchid (Stamnorchis recurva – formerly Pterostylis recurva)

Flowers large, jug shaped – thus the common name.  Older flowers have reddish hue but new flowers are white with green and brown markings.
