Endangered orchids found in W. Australia
Rare orchids found From: AAP February 08, 2006 A HEALTHY population of a rare and endangered native orchid species has been found in Western Australia's southwest. The 246 grand spider orchids are in a nature reserve near Pinjarra, 89km south of Perth. It was the third largest known population of caladenia huegelii, the Department of Conservation and Land Management (CALM) said today. In 1995 a single, flowering grand spider orchid was found at the same site, CALM said. Another survey, in 2004, also found just one of the plants, about 500m from the previous sighting. -- Reka This is LIFE! It's not a rehearsal. Don't miss it! http://www.rolbox.it/hukari/index.html |
