Beginning of Autumn in N.E. Downunder - Bletilla striata flowering

Beautiful.

Lovely colour.

Gorgeous Bernieh.

Thanks, all. This is the very first bloom on my Ground Orchid and I'm rather chuffed. I will definitely be getting more of this fabulous plant ... it came through a horrid, horrid Summer with flying colours, so it's definitely on my Favourites List.

Very nice indeed!
I've found an Australian orchid on-line called Thelymitra. It comes in the most stunning blues!

Hi Meanie ... blues huh! Now that does sound brilliant. I'll have to look into it.

Here's the link to the Uk source that I've found.....

Love the colour.

Meanie, I had a look at that site ... and they are just stunning. I then went and searched for a supplier here and they're hard to get ... they're on the endangered list in the wild. Will keep looking.

That's a real WOW factor photo!

So kind, thanks OG.
