The view from the summit of Mount Montgomery, looking back to Ulverstone and the Bass Strait, the shore of which was where I started the walk.

Still quite dry in the north, so not many fungi aside from the pioneer boletes. Top left os a beautiful shaggy cap (Boletellus emodensis).

A lone autumn bird orchid (Chiloglottis reflexa).

Not many people know that if a recidivist penguin damaged your property in Tasmania, between 1902 and 1962, you were legally entitled to call an officer of the law to have it incarcerated until it had been successfully rehabilitated and was able to reenter society. They struggled with the laundry press with those little flippers, though.

A walk from the shore up to the summit of Mount Montgomery, a small but lovely #hill in #Tasmania. A few #orchids and #fungi starting to emerge, and a nice #view from the summit. Also one of my favorite #signs for confusing tourists. #mountain #nature #Australia #flower

A black and white macro study of an orchid, captured in soft, natural light. The Silvertone processing emphasizes a metallic, pearlescent sheen on the broad, curving petals. The natural light source creates a gentle gradient, pulling the eye toward the dark, speckled center of the bloom. The image is an intimate exploration of organic geometry, highlighting the contrast between the smooth, ethereal petals and the intricate, shadowed details of the flower's throat.

Peachy colored orchid flowers...orange, pink, and yellow. The blooms at the top are much more pastel and faded than the ones at bottom, which have just opened

Phalaenopsis Sogo Gotris 'Peachy'
There's quite a noticeable fading between the longest open bloom, at the top, and the newly opened flower at the bottom.

Here are some beautiful home grown orchids (no greenhouse). My guy gets them to bloom every year with his benign neglect. #orchids #flowersofbluesky

Clustsers of white flowers with purple throats bunched along the variegated stems of bamboo-like orchid growths. Wispy gray-green Spanish Moss mixed in. Background is metal wire arranged in squares, along with other orchids.

Dendrobium moniliforme #orchids #bloomscrolling

This particular cultivar is almost certainly a hybrid, not the true species. This is small growing. Cold tolerant. Beautiful even when not in flower. Blooms are lightly fragrant during the day.

Dendrobium aberrans

Dense-flowered and Loose-flowered Orchid here in Rhodes in the past week. The #OrchidsOfRhodes have been particularly fine this year, and my @mariposanature.bsky.social guests have enjoyed seeing a wide range of genera and species.
