    Lovely set. This is the first time I have seen images of spider orchids.

    I must pay another visit to our local reserves, to see if our long-awaited rain has urged our terrestrials into growth.

    Hi Brian, some of the WA orchids are quite bazaar - must have been designed by a committee !

    Cheers, Richard.
