@silverdory love all these orchid & wildflower photos. Used to spend half my teenage time in the bushland around black mtn in cbr & often saw them but never took any photos

@ajft Lots of beautiful orchids on Black Mt - it's amazing to be able to go for a quick walk and see half a dozen species out in spring - just minutes from the CBD of a national capital city :) #bushcapital
