orchids

Completely unexpected at this time of the year, these orchids, new to our collection, bloomed quietly in the background.

So I’m entering them in Cee’s FOTD.

Alien orchids

Yes, really. They’re from PNG, for Cee’s FOTD.

These orchids, in the Cairns Botanic Gardens’ conservatory, are the first of many I’ll submit for Cee’s FOTD.

However, I can’t decide on the colour.

It opened on Christmas day and now I am sharing it for Cee’s FOTD.

It’s the last Orchid from Tasmania, in Cee’s flower of the day challenge.

Don’t worry, I’ll run out, soon, and Spring is around the corner for more photo specimens. But for today, it’s another Tasmanian orchid.
