Purple donkey orchids (Diuris punctata) and Trigger plants (Stylidium sp.) on the edge of Croajingalong National Park, East Gippsland, VIC.

Most of the trigger plants out here were this very attractive pale-flowering form with tall flower spikes.

Grass trigger plants (Stylidium graminifolium) in coastal heathland near Mallacoota, VIC. A lot of variation in flower colour, number and spacing in these coastal populations. While many plants had either finished or were almost finishing flowering some on roadside verges were still resetting new flower stems after early-summer slashing for fire hazard reduction.

I don’t often stop and smell the roses, but I always try and stop to watch the #Triggerplants.

#Stylidium squamosotuberosum just seen in action south of Margaret River – just look at the size of the pollen load on this native bee! #Pollination #FloraOfAustralia #AustralianPlants
