We got home too late for the terrestrial orchids - the hot weather had burnt them off. However,we do have lots of other granite country wildflowers at the moment - many are very small and need tracking down!! This is a bigger one - about 3/4 in long and a beautiful colour.
btw - sorry I haven't been commenting more....really trying to figure out time management....will comment when I can. And I really enjoy communicating with you!
@granagringa Hi Madeline - it's always nice to chat to you - but don't worry if you are busy - having a lot to do seems to be such a good way to keep an interest in life!! Will look forward to talking to you when we can overlap. Cheers for now - and thanks for your comment on the flower.
@nobled Hi Dorothy - thanks for your comment. It's quite surprising how many purple and mauve flowers there are up here. They look lovely with the wattle. Cheers Rob Z
@casablanca Hi Casablanca - our little terrestrial orchids only appear and flower for a few weeks in spring each year - for the rest of the year they are bulbs under the ground. I'm afraid I can't take much credit for them. :) Thanks for your interest.
@woofandweft1@bintal Thanks Deborah and Sylvia - these are a lovely pale purple - and we seem to have a lot of others which are also purple and mauve. Thanks for your interest.
