Nature and bits

Say g’day to Barry! Barry was just hanging around on this smooth lipped spider orchid (Caladenia integra) looking cool. I figured perhaps he was stuck, maybe on a spiders web.

But no, as I tried to get a little closer he just flipped up and flew off, possibly quite annoyed at the intrusion.

Yep, that’s not an orchid, I’m going to mix this post up a little with a few other pictures rather than just orchids.

This next little guy is positively glowing in the early morning sun.

 

 

This is a magnificent fungi looks rather boring till you turn it over and see all the gills underneath.

 

A lovely little drossera growing in the sand. The shrunken photo on here doesn’t do it justice, here’s a closer view.

 

One spider orchid offering support to another…  🙂

Don’t let life tie you up in knots.

There’s nothing quite like a sunset down at Fremantle.

I did mention there would be pictures other than orchids didn’t I?

 

 

Ahhh, Caladenia graminifolia, grass-leafed spider orchid. Just opening up, these guys only open for a day or two before self pollinating and closing again.

No words needed..  🙂

Bird orchid, possibly a Pterostylis barbata, interesting looking things.

 

 

That one is a re-post I’m sure, but hey, it won me a photo comp.. 🙂
