Photograph of purple orchids blooming in the foreground, in a garden. In the background the rising Sun is shining through a silhouetted tree.

The tenth and final flower has opened on our office orchid.

Anyone know what this is? The person who gave it to me told me it was a bamboo orchid, but I think that's normally a name for Dendrobium nobile, and I'm pretty sure it's not one of those.

Another species of Dendrobium perhaps? Or something completely different?

A great variety of orchids at the Dublin Botanics Garden.

6 or 7 purply-brown and white orchids in a greenhouse.

A closeup of a yellow and black orchid flower. Some other flowers from the same plant, along with some leaves, can be seen in the background.

Detail of a white orchid flower with touches of yellow in its center. Other flowers of the same plant can be seen on the right, together with two green buds.

A closeup of five pink orchid flowers fully opened and displaying their magnificent white and purple dotted center. Som green in the background.

Essa orquídea floresceu pela primeira vez em casa. É branca e parece ter gostado do lugar que arranjei para ela.

Foto de uma flor branca de orquídea com cinco pétalas. O centro é em tons de amarelo salpicado de vermelho. A flor está presa à haste, que diferentemente do usual, não se ergue, mas sim desce desde a planta mais ao alto (não visível). A flor está bem próxima ao chão, recoberto por folhas secas e algumas jabuticabas também secas. Ao fundo se vê o encontro de um muro de cor laranja com outro de cor verde.

Photo of purple orchids blooming next to a house with ferns. A blue sky and trees are seen in the background.

Interesting form of Thelymitra × irregularis (crested sun orchid) near Karbeethong, East Gippsland, VIC.

Only one roadside plant out at this location with fewer spots and richer colours than other nearby populations.I haven't seen this beautiful natural hybrid here before.

9 flowers are open now on our office orchid. One more is preparing to open.

Good Morning!

I'm back, today with #BloomScrolling, after a 14 family member, 25lb turkey, 4 pies, and of course ice cream Thanksgiving weekend at our house. Very glad to now be in December, as Nov. has historically been a harsh and cruel month for our family, this year being no exception. #orchids #GoodMorning

(if I missed anything of importance over the past 10 days, please DM me)

A planter with orchids sits on a tall pedestal. There are three or four stems rising in a V shape, each with 6 or so open white orchid blooms with yellow centers.

My Encyclia cochleata is back in bloom!

An orchid with two flowers with purple clamshell-shaped lips held above greenish yellow petals and sepals

An orchid with two flowers with purple clamshell-shaped lips held above greenish yellow petals and sepals, this time with strap-like leaves and flattened pear-shaped pseudobulbs.

Newly opened slipper orchid in the little shelf greenhouse: Paph Balding Man (Garibaldi X Manayunk). Handsome fellow! 😍 #orchids #BloomScrolling #paphiopedilum

A slipper orchid, its slipper is mahogany colored with yellow detailing. It has 2 broad side petals of a shiny bright mahogany and an upper petal slightly clefted at the top, mostly a bright yellow green edged with white and covered with raised shiny spots of a deep maroon. It is handsomely proportioned.

Was able to get out for a walk today. Plenty of orchids beginning to show in Hollybank Forest in Northern Tasmania.

Greenhood Orchid. Dark red top of the flower and a white body with green stripes and two red sepals looking like antennae

Bird Orchid. Quite a rare species in Tasmania, two large green leaves have a single flower sprouting between them. The flower has a short stem and is dark red with two sepals spreading to the sides

Four light pink petals surround a central part with darker pink and yellow colouring. A fifth petal covers the central area

Black-hooded sun orchid (Thelymitra atronitida) near Mallacoota, East Gippsland, VIC. This uncommon species tends to be very shy to flower - usually only see one or two flowers open briefly on warm/humid mornings. A nice patch of plants at this location but only one flower open - and this closed up as I photographed it just before noon.

Microtis unifolia (common onion orchid) growing amongst the sun orchids at the back of the house, Corunna, NSW. Flowers are very small - standard Aussie fly included for scale.

Grows here alongside a more robust form of M. parviflora (slender onion orchid) which has longer flowering stems with less crowded flowers.

Microtis unifolia (common onion orchid), Corunna, NSW.

Orchids are famous for specialized flowers that create species isolation by manipulating pollinators— but these ones don't have specialized pollinator relationships. Instead, they're isolated by pollen incompatibilities.

Crested sun orchid - Thelymitra × irregularis - west of Mallacoota, East Gippsland, VIC.

Slightly different form of this beautiful naturally occurring hybrid (thought to be a cross between T. ixioides x T. carnea) compared to plants growing further west near Genoa. As with several other populations I saw this spring there were only a couple of plants out at this location.

Double ducks west of Mallacoota, East Gippsland, VIC. Didn't see a lot of large duck orchids (Caleana major) on my couple of brief East Gippsland trips this year but did see scattered plants in full flight at a couple of locations.
