How nice to have native orchids. Ours are not so impressive. At least to
my eye.

Its amazing what a camera with a good macro can do! Nevertheless, the
arachnorchis are surprising re dimensions. Tip to tip, the parva's are
est. 4 inches, while some venustas are 8 inches tip to tip. Their slimline
features are deceptive - make these look smaller. Some of the West
Australian spiders are larger again, some reaching 12 inches tip to tip.
Cheers,
Peter

Sometimes it's the smaller flowers which are (with, of course, a good
photographer's intervention!) the most photogenic - I especially like the
C.parva and C.stricta. What dramatic flowers!
