Terrestrial orchids of Western Victoria
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 -- ) "tenman" wrote in message ...

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! |

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

I love you cyp's Kathy! Are these well north of your location - out of your
range? Peter -- ) "K Barrett" wrote in message . .. How nice to have native orchids. Ours are not so impressive. At least to my eye. K Barrett "P Max" wrote in message ...

Kathy,
According to Ron Parsons, the closest naturally occurring Cypripediums to the Bay Area are just west of Yosemite. There is a historical record of Cypripedium californicum on Mt. Tamalpais but the last sighting was a collection that went into an herbarium! -Eric in SF www.orchidphotos.org |
