There’s about 300 species of #Pterostylis in Australia, New Zealand, PNG, East Timor and Indonesia. I’m always happy when I see one. #orchid #wildflower #wildoz #kean4sci

This glistening #Pterostylis sargentii was enjoying life under this Sheoak! Commonly called the frog Greenhood I can kinda se why! Has lil frogs legs behind. If only my camera could capture the sparkling perianth it was almost unreal

Greenhood orchids in Lysterfield park, VIC - let your eyes adjust and after you see the first couple you will see hundreds along the trails and wonder how you missed them all these years.

Some orchids from my Orchid Society meeting the other night! Some still had a delightful smell! #Chysis limminghei #Pterostylis baptistii #Dendrobium speciosum & #Rhyncholaelia glauca!

Flowers that work as a light trap! Pterostylis are masters of using light and in some case scent to achieve pollination, #Pterostylis barbata is a great examples of this! With the pollinia at the top of the flower they use light to fool their pollinator to travel further up to the pollinia!

Back was sore so I went for a forest walk. Ended up hunched over crawling on the pine needles... Pterostylis and Corybas in bloom

Being a sexually deceptive species #Pterostylis vittata presents a insect-like labellum which you can see here, sitting down ready to be triggered by a male gnat

Either this is #Pterostylis crebriflora or it’s just a P. sanguinea fooling me 🤔
Known as the Darling Ranges Banded Greenhood, it would fit the name being in John forest. When I saw this one I was thinking it had much larger flowers than ones I have seen before

#Orchid time! This time of year many Pterostylis begin to pop up! This one is a very common species to come across #Pterostylis sanguinea, the lighting was perfect to show of the light windows of the flowers that are used to direct the Gnat that pollinated this species to the pollenia!
