Thanks to Gaye, Pat and Geraldine for letting me crash their orchid hunting party on Tuesday ... more wonder with Emma's camera in the small spaces.
Fire clearing and good spring rain at Wilsons Promontory have combined to bring the best show of native orchids in many years - millions of them. Tiny and stunning.
They were all there: spider orchids, donkey orchids, greenhoods, sun orchids, hyacinth orchids and red bird orchids. On top of this display - the xanthoreas were in flower after last year's fires - a close up on their constellation-like flower stems is here.
A glow comes from a couple of hours behind a lens in these places: they're the very images that you need to hold to staring at the roof of a high dependency unit - a million reasons to stick around that bit longer.
