Continuing on with my labour of love … we have presented a selection of images and information on flora throughout Australia, which is another real passion of ours. One of the popular flora groups are the beautiful Orchids (family Orchidaceae ) .
Many of these orchid species we would not have been able to show, without the wonderful contributors and authors that have allowed us to present their photographs, including our friend Terry Dunham who has been sharing his passion for orchids from his part of Western Australia.
