Queensland Orchid Society Show - Dockrillia teretifolia
Went to the QOS show last weekend. The Spring bloomers are just starting to
show. (There's q straight line if ever I saw one!) Many lovely plants there,
but a small selection of the Aussie species & hybrids over the next couple of
nights.
This was a lovely specimen of Dockrillia teretifolia. I was speaking to one of
the judges, who said it just missed out on Champion Specimen.
For the purists who like a good closeup of a bloom, this species typically
presents upside down so that, short of kneeling very awkwardly & then pointing
the camera up, you can't get a good view of the flower :-(
