@taffy Thanks Taffy - and thank you for the follow! I hope I can continue to learn things and produce photos which improve. It does seem to be an ever expanding hobby... Cheers Rob

@fbailey Thanks FB - this one doesn't flower too often - the recent rain must have been to its liking. :)

That is a lovely shot of a beautifu flower. It is as if it is reaching out of the photo, pointing at something!

@casablanca Thank you Casablanca-this is a side one view - it's quite a funny shape - very angular and quite elongated. This is only the second time it's flowered too. Thanks for your interest and encouraging comment. :)

that is so lovely, what kind of flower is that?

@louisanoffke I'm afraid I don't know the name of this one - it is a native orchid but not one which is normally found on our block. We get about 8 types naturally - but this is one I planted many years ago.
