The last of the orchids. by robz

The last of the orchids.

The last of the orchids flowered in this week. They are a combination of natives and exotics. Unfortunately, because of the hot, dry weather they won't last long.
You must have a magnificent collection of these gorgeous things. Wonderful colours and shapes.

Hi Marnie - you are right in that we have a lot of different ones. Just picked up here and there over the years - some grow naturally on our block also. My Dad also had a lot of the exotic ones which we inherited. He was so worried about what would happen to them - and they give us so much joy now. A wonderful reminder each year. Cheers

I like the way you arranged them in the collage and what beauties they are

Wonderful variety! Makes for an interesting collage that contrasts their colors and shapes.

@casablanca Hi Casablanca - They are all in our garden-mainly just attached directly to trees. They are pretty tough! :)

@jgpittenger Hi jane - thanks for the nice comment about the collage. The orchids have done surprisingly well this year - it's been terribly dry but they have flowered well.

@taffy Thanks for your comment Taffy. The only one of these which is an exotic is the large yellow and red one. The others are all natives or native hydrids. All so different!
