Donkey Orchids

This is why I love spring in the South West! Finding these native orchids while walking through the bush is so special. I plan to photograph a different orchid each day over September just to see how many I can find.

@jodies I can tell you where to go.. Tozers Bush Camp at Bremer Bay we saw the remnants of quite a lot of Queen of Sheba orchids..we were just a bit late..and would be now too I believe.
