Frankly, it doesn't look like any native Oz orchid that I know -- it
looks more like a _Cattleya_ species to me.

Can anyone be more specific?

(I suspect the photographer's use of the term "wild" may just mean
"feral" (i.e. unattended) rather than specifically "native to Oz".)

Cheers, Phred.


That color pattern I would associate with a Dendrobium nobile hybrid.
