The Chiloglotis gunnii – Tall Bird Orchid, is another Tasmanian Orchid that can be hard to spot and is quite different than the Greenhood in my previous post, though it grows in the same area.
It is best to look out for the leaves, which can grow in large patches across the ground disguised in the leaf litter, then look for the flowers which blend in well with dead leaves.
More information about these and other Tasmanian Orchids can be found HERE.
Thanks for visiting 😀

Beautiful, Tone. I love how the orchids can be so different from each other, but they have basic features in common.

Thanks Anneli, if only I had the time to hunt all of our native varieties! With nearly 200, I’d be going for a while!! 😛
