GlenysMore Spider Orchids - Western Australia
November 28th 2010 12:27
Spider Orchids are well known in Western Australia and, before cultivation of the land, could be found in abundance. In the early 1960’s we used to wander around and find dozens of them in the bush near Badgingarra. Spider Orchids belong to the Genus Caladenia and are one of the most attractive of the ground orchids. They never cease to delight when found. Spider Orchids have a small narrow leaf, and flowers are produced on a single stem.
